The Shafferland Father's Day Shuffle

Happy Father's Day! Thought I would kick off this Father's Day with a throwback to days of yore with my dad!

* Last Sunday was major recovery day after the hot wedding weekend! We both felt pretty sick but recovered nicely. I'm sure we were overheated and dehydrated. We rested up, got back to eating our regular food on a regular schedule, and I started editing the 1591 pictures I'd taken on Saturday!

* You remember our appliance debacle, right? Well it all started on Monday, when they delivered the whole suite of them. So fun to see them sitting there awaiting installation! Know what else was fun about Monday? Drinking from the mason jars we got at the wedding. I'm such a nerd. We met up with friends that night for a little coffee date. It was fun!

* Tuesday night we went to my parents' house for Ryan to repair their hot water heater. We forgot our key and they weren't home yet when we arrived, so we rested on the porch with our coffee for a while. Here's Ryan with what's left of the rod from their hot water heater. Eek! And when we got home, I presented Ryan with a lemon cake I had made just for him!

* Wednesday night was the beginning of the appliance mess. We had to completely take apart the refrigerator to get it inside our house, and then after Ryan had the dishwasher totally installed, we found the scratches on the front, so he had to turn around and uninstall it. Maddening little night.

* I found some beautiful raindrops on roses Thursday morning after a really bad storm Wednesday night. (We were fine but my parents sure had a mess!!) I spent the day working in the office, and it was also business card design day, which was fun! :) That night? Dishwasher successfully re-installed. Whew!

* Friday I turned my back for ONE SECOND while I was working and SOMEONE started drinking my water. Sigh. I found out there were some rummages nearby on Friday, so I shopped a bit (YAY!) and that night, Ryan treated me to a Sonic creamslush - and we saw the most beautiful rainbow right over the area destroyed by the tornado last summer!

* And yesterday we went on our 18th county date! Drove up north, almost to the Michigan line, to check out Elkhart county! It was so much fun. Can't wait to tell you all about it! When we got home, Ryan installed the microwave and stove. You'd think that would have been simple after the other two, right? WRONG!!!! But they are officially in! Sort of. Except not really.
