Father's Day

Early this morning the boys gave Nick their cards and presents for Father’s Day, which were a music stand (nice sturdy one I bought locally), a battery operated toothbrush, a tube of Pringles (traditional Father’s Day gift) and a packet of Wagon Wheels, which I don’t think you can get in SA anymore. Aaron’s card, which he reread for Nick, said “Dab” – he only realized when he read it today! He felt a bit embarrassed I think. Caleb’s said “Hotweels” all over it. Then we proceeded to breakfast and the day as usual. Lunch was chicken burgers and onion rings which we took to Steve and Maureen’s empty house, as they have asked us to keep an eye on it while they’re away. The boys took their box of plastic animals and played with them on the very thick carpet/rug while Nick went over his lesson for tomorrow and I read “Chasing the Dragon” which I started a week or two ago – about a single missionary lady in China in the Walled City. Very good book.
