Happy Fathers Day!

First of all Happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there! :)

This Fathers Day turned out very nice. First everyone gave their cards and gifts. Because it was really nice we went on a bike ride, although Sereina and Mamma stayed home because they didn't feel super good. Along the ride a lot of people passed us and I was beginning to wonder if there was some sort of marathon being run when about twenty riders passed us. When we got to the park I was somewhat stunned, yes there was a marathon and there must have been over a hundred people there! Not counting the people who kept on riding to finish up the marathon. We stopped a while at the check point, Daniel racing to the park, and Tiana, Daddy and I eating and resting in the shade. I don't know what temperature it was but seeing as I was bike riding and I didn't melt (that happens around 75, 80 degrees) then it must have been around 70.

When we got home what was waiting but some butterscotch cookies and peach cobbler, and it was gluten free! *squeel of delight* I'm so close, you see, I haven't eaten any gluten this year (if you don't count dreams where I eat it and freak out!) because I'm doing a test to see if I'm allergic. Sure, I could get a blood test but I absolutely cannot stand needles. I'm putting off blood tests until it's absolutely necessary! Anyways, I try gluten on July 1st.

Because it was nice out we got a fire going in out semi new fire pit! The best part was during the fire it started to thunder, I love thunder. In many ways it's so mysterious, loud noised coming from nowhere. I like to write and something about thunder storms are so inspirational.

Lastly to end the day we watched T.V. before bed. As everyone made their way to the their rooms I noticed Doji on the back deck, walking toward the sliding glass door. He was walking bow legged with something stuck on his back left paw. I let him in and after scooping him up discovered he had one of those stick rat traps on his foot! (At first I though it was for bugs, I didn't know there were things like that for rats!) Anyway, Doji didn't like us pulling it off his foot, I'm guessing it hurt because it was pulling at his fur. Some how he managed to get it stuck on his entire back foot, not just the padding of his paw. Of course there was sticky stuff all over his foot and in order to get it off we had to soak his foot in water. I've never seen him look so scared, even when he was at the vet before he never looked quite like he did when his foot got wet.

Indeed, this will be a Father's Day to remember
