Sunday at Dad's 7/29/12

SO WE PUT OFF DAD'S HOUSE AN EXTRA WEEK SO

THAT WE COULD CELEBRATE PAT'S DAD'S 94th

BIRTHDAY- YAY HARVEY!  EXCEPT THAT IT RAINED

SO HARD THAT HE COULDN'T MAKE IT TO HIS

OWN PARTY BECAUSE OF OVERFLOWED WASHES.

SO I CELEBRATED IN HIS HONOR.

DAD HAD A NICE SURF AND TURF DINNER PLANNED

EXCEPT WE DID SHRIMP INSTEAD OF LOBSTER.

ERNIE WATCHING INTENTLY AND DAD GRILLS.

BOYS LOVE GRILLS AND MEAT.  FACT.

MANDARIN ORANGES, ALMOND SLICES, 

POPPY SEED DRESSING.

ME AND ERNIE ENDED UP BEING THE ONLY ONES

(OTHER THAN PAT WHO LIVES RIGHT THERE) TO MAKE

IT OUT.  THERE WERE LOTS OF PLACE SETTINGS 

UNUSED.  WE DIDN'T EVEN NEED THE SECOND 

TABLE THAT WAS SET UP.

SO CUTE!  WE DIDN'T END UP USING THEM THOUGH.

CARROT CAKE CUPCAKES!  MY FAVORITE!

GREEK FROZEN YOGURT!

AFTER EATING I WENT WANDERING WITH MY

CAMERA.  HERE ARE SOME PICS I TOOK-

WASP BALL?  PRETTY THOUGH...

LONELY POD IN THE WIND

CHARTREUSE CENTER CIRCLE!

HOW MANY FRUITS CAN YOU FIT ON ONE PAD???

OH SNAP.  HERE IT IS.  THE MOMENT YOU HAVE

ALL BEEN WAITING FOR SINCE I ALLUDED TO 

IT HERE.  ERNIE HUMPING THE JAVELINA.

GRAB THOSE EARS!  DAD, LINDA AND PAT

ARE ALL WATCHING ON THE PORCH.

HORRIFIED I'M SURE.

JUST KIDDING.  DAD WAS THE ONE WHO

TURNED THE JOKE FROM RIDING THE JAVELINA 

INTO GRINDING THE JAVELINA.

I HAD HOPED TO FIND MORE ASIAN FLOWER BEETLES
(ALTHOUGH NOW THAT NAME IS UP FOR DEBATE) BUT
ALAS NONE.  THE UNIVERSITY'S HOSPITAL CAFETERIA
CONTINUES TO BE THE SWEET SPOT FOR THOSE.

I GUESS I SHOULD MENTION THAT I FIND THEM IN THE
OUTSIDE SEATING AREA, NOT INSIDE THE
BUILDING OR INSIDE THE FOOD.
