Father's Day Togetherness

For Father's Day, it was a pretty routine Sunday-

        Church, Grill, Nap, Porch, Outdoors.

The "regular" times are even more special now that the Blossoms are working multiple jobs and have their own busy schedules.  

We were all exhausted from a marathon of a week and being away all day Friday.  It was a good week, accomplishing goals, making headway on lists, spending time at the cabin, and even another victorious Caricature stint for Blossom3.  Good weeks can still be pretty tiring though.  

It was so nice when everyone started filtering out to the porch after our naps.  The Rugged Mountain Man said he'd gather up the rods so we could head out.  It's interesting that rarely does everyone want to do the same thing at the same time.  We are always practicing practical love through flexibility.  This is the time we have to be together.  

It's Father's Day, so we're going fishing.  

Some might feel like swimming.

Some might feel like reading.  

Some do want to fish but maybe not in that location.  

At some point, we just have to make the call on what we're doing... so we're going fishing today.

We pile into the truck and drive away to get into the Great Outdoors... to experience some peace in the green of flora, the beautiful big blue of vast skies, and the ever-soothing water music.

Blossom2 happily caught the first fish.  Mama caught lots of algae and ended with three fish... that's more than the Rugged Mountain Man caught, surprisingly.  I never catch more fish than him!  Blossom4 eventually broke her line, gave up, and conveniently decided to swim for the duration.  Some of us just reveled in the fresh air.  

Together moments are never perfect.  Getting out the door is never perfect.  That all makes sense, since we're imperfect people.  

We ventured out together, soaked up the sunshine, and were grateful for these moments of true beauty and togetherness.
