Today, we celebrated both Father’s Day and Maya’s birthday, one and two days early respectively. We attended the Verrill Farm Strawberry Festival in the morning and were fortunate to miss the rain that fell for much of the rest of the day. Jeanine suggested the event and I thought it would be great fun. After noticing the very large number of small children in attendance, Kyle suggested this was a planned attempt to accelerate the timetable for having grandchildren. No such subterfuge was at play but if it had that effect, I will be choosing to attend the festival again next year. I feel very fortunate that the kids all live close by and that we can be together so often.

In the afternoon, Kyle helped me to collect a three-piece recliner that will go in the mini-theater of our new house. While we had the U-Haul trailer we also returned the recliner that Jeanine has been using while recovering from her foot surgery and moved a bunch of shop equipment from the Road House basement to the River House.
