father's day.

justin had drill today,

so no father's day plans with him.

he had the truck,

so we were going to have to skip spending father's day

with my stepdad.

however,

my sister is out of town,

and though i didn't really want to,

i used her minivan and drove up to be with jack on father's day.

jack is nearing the end of his time working in canton

and i know he won't always be around.

i refuse to miss out on holidays with him.

my parents plan on leaving the position at the church by sept. 1st,

since jack is no longer able to preach.

pop can't communicate like he wants,

but he can ride.

he zooms.

in his small town,

i'm pretty sure he hits the speed limit.

haha.

the ride is what they look forward to the most.

since they live across the street from the grain elevator,

they've had a lot of traffic on their street.

we went on a walk to "downtown".

which brought on the red cheeks.

it was hot.

jack's daughter, jacquie, called from colorado while we were there.

he always has a great time talking to her.

his conversations, though, get a little tricky for him.

this is his usual frustrated and annoyed face when he's

trying to think of the words to say.

though he stumbles on his words,

he physically looks so much better than he did last summer.

he's put on 20 lbs since then.

the kids playing with gra.

happy father's day to you, pop.
