My fathers day will be spent playing golf with my 20 year old son. I like that.

I was hoping for my first grandson but looks like we will have to wait a few days. Spent the day wiring my new Wine Shed. Wife made some fabulous Crab Cakes and a Meyer Lemon Pie. Finished the day with a glass of wine in the Hot Tub. All in all a great day!

JD got a glass that said Dads' Old Fahioned Rootbeer, and a bottle of the same. Sort of sad considering the money he gifts to the kids..... But he was happy because a BBQ came along with it!
