Happy Father's Day! Sunday, June 21, 2020

Nanaw was so happy to see everybody who came for Father's Day dinner on Sunday. Attending were Mama, Daddy, Chase, Uncle Mike, Aunt Becky, and cousins Joe, Robbie Lindsey and Nichole -- just at the number 10. Nanaw had trouble with the Italian beef and had to finish cooking it in the pressure cooker. It eventually turned out all right. Nanaw thinks that because her crock pots are old, they didn't heat up enough to cook the roast beef on low for six hours. The first picture below is of the Italian seasoning used for the beef. All of the stores Nanaw went to (three Schnuck's and two Walmarts) were out of the seasoning. So Nanaw ordered four packets from Amazon and borrowed two from Mama. The second picture is the Italian been cooking in the crock pots, being watched over by photos of Chase on the refrigerator. The rest of the dinner included: mostacciolli, dinner rolls, Caesar salad, and fruit salad. Mama brought two delicious desserts: peach dump cake and chocolate pudding layer cookie cake. Everybody seemed to enjoy dinner and have a good time. Cousin Mike face timed from Okinawa, and everybody got to say Hi to him. It's been three years since we saw him in person. After dinner, Mama, Chase and Nanaw went for a walk. Nanaw asked Chase if he wanted to go for a walk, and she was shocked when he said yes. He never says yes to a walk. Mama asked if the walk was exclusive or if she could go along, and Chase said she could come. On the way back, they took a shortcut home over the dam and saw people fishing.
