3 Good Things For Father’s Day

…in lieu of a 3 Good Things Thursday this week.

Usually Thursdays, but today on a Sunday, I share three good things from that day, in the past week, and/or in the week or weeks to come, to focus on what is good. Then I encourage you to share in the comments your three good things too, if you want. (I was introduced to thinking on three good things for the week by Deb Nance of the blog Readerbuzz who lists hers every Sunday on her blog.) Today is a quick special edition for Father’s Day.  So without further ado…

My Father

This weekend I’m visiting him and my mother who live about 60 miles away, after not seeing them in probably six months, around his birthday in January. I came over yesterday and will be here until later today. It’s been a good visit thus far.

Family

My sister and her family will be here this afternoon, and we’ll have burgers and hot dogs.

Yesterday my sister and her daughter came over and we played a game called Aggravation (a board game with marbles), with my niece winning after my mom and I “put her back” to the beginning. It was a nicely played game by her (even with the mild trash talking amongst us).

From a game last year this month in which I won. I think my niece remembered. 😉

A nearly-perfectly-made omelette

To start today, I made omelettes for my dad and me. They have a nice set of non-stick pans, and the first omelette for my dad turned out nearly perfect. I say nearly perfect because I forgot to add a piece of thin-sliced ham to his. That said, I used olive oil, a little salt and pepper and it turned out much better than the ones I make on our stove. Unfortunately I didn’t get a photo of it right out of the pan, but you still get the gist:

    Sounds like a good visit with family: yummy food and competitive board games are a good combination.

    I had today off for Juneteenth, which was really nice. I’ll end the day with 2 dance classes and a “dance party.”

    1. Overall, yes. The elephant(s) in the room is/are my parents’ declining health and a house too large for them. My sister, along with they, already have had (productive) discussions… Whoo hoo. Hope you had fun with all the Juneteenth dancing.

        I move my parents (age 81 and 86) into a retirement home at the end of next week (we’ll rent out their house). It is not an easy transition but at least my mom knows it is the smart decision/move to make. Good luck convincing your parents to downsize or go to a retirement place.

      2. Thank you, Helen. Hope the transition goes well, even though not easy.

    1. I now have one of those pans at home. Great omelette-making pan. Blue Diamond is the brand.
