Father's Day

Sunday

I got up late. I brushed my teeth and took supplements in several rounds. I turned on my phone. I read messages on the computer. I got my time lists caught up. I asked Chris for a massage. Afterward, he took his shower and I took mine. I made and ate breakfast. I got dressed and gathered cheese squares and music. I went to the chapel.

I put the cheese squares in the back. I went up front to set down my trombone. I went to the fellowship hall to unlock that door in case someone wanted to pick up their art work. I came back to assemble my trombone. Then Keli and Janet had the kids to their Big House song and dance. It was very nice.

Cpl Popken and Keli started the service with praise songs. He gave a wonderful Father's Day message. Then the band played two hymns. After the service, we chatted. I asked about writing a request to have Popken preach until the next chaplain comes.

Eryne arrived to talk about the paintings. We went to the fellowship hall to see them. She said one wasn't quite dry. The paint had kept spreading after the pictures were set down so they looked a little different. No one had come to pick up their painting. We talked about what we could do next time. And we talked about other techniques.

I went home about 3:30. I put on a bathing suit and laid out in the sun as I read. When I came in, I decided that in honor of my father on Father's Day, I would play his accordion. So I got out the most beginner book I could find. I started at page one. But I had trouble with the bass keys. So I had to look them up on the internet. Then I stood in front of the mirror to see if I was doing the right thing. Finally I went back to the book and played the first song. It did not go well. I asked Chris to take a video and it went better that time. I sent the video to Faye and to Kurt.

The other Damours signed into Discord for the game. I ate fiber gel, then signed into the game. Half an hour later, I ate some casserole. Chris put some mushrooms in the toaster oven. When they were done, I added the remaining curry. I deleted old e-mails as we finished the game.

We folded laundry. I went to the gardens to check the timer and turn it down to 30 minutes. I talked to Veronica who was watering her plot with sprinkling cans. I told her she could use the faucet in plot 8. I went home to water my potted plants. The sprinklers were on but not covering the yard. Chris was asleep on the bed.

I made tea and worked on my blog. I listened to a sleep audio while playing Solitaire. Then I got ready for bed. Chris was still sleeping in the unmade bed, so I joined him there.
