Summer has officially arrived. The summer solstice occurred yesterday, Sunday - June 21st. It is always a bit depressing for me. Isn't that awful! What bothers me is that the days start getting shorter. The sun has stopped the ascent it makes and now begins descending lower and lower. Every day we shave some minutes off of the amount of daylight we experience, unlike our dear friends who live near the equator. And, yesterday was Father's Day. It was a good day - all three children were home. Andrew read scripture during the worship service at church, which was nice. Connie fixed a delicious dinner. We topped it off with homemade ice cream. At least we tried. The mixer/freezer ran and ran and ran. After several hours, the mix was the consistency of buttermilk. This morning, after it spent the night in the refrigerator freezer, it was finally hard enough to be considered ice cream. The family gave me some nice gifts. We played hillbilly golf late in the afternoon. I was most grateful for their kindness.
