Father's Day has come and gone. I roped Clay into heading to Granbury to visit with my Papa..which was to be a surprise. His daughter and family from Arkansas came in Friday night...unbeknown to Papa, then Clay and I drove up at about 10:00 Saturday morning. Papa was ecstatic. It was a house full. We all had a really nice time. I really haven't spent any quality time with Papa's new wife, Mary and her family. I also really haven't spent any time with his daughter Susan and her family, so this was a good opportunity for us to get to know each other.

Jerry and Susan had brought some fresh catfish that he corn mealed and deep fried for us. They also brought an ice cream maker and made home made vanilla ice cream...it was delicious! I bought a bunch of fresh fruit and made a nice fruit salad and made some dip for chips. Simple yet delicious meal.


Best quote of the day:

Clay: The catfish is fried? I can't eat that... it will tear my stomach up.
Papa: Oh, it will be okay...it's deep fried...

This past Friday, Clay went to get his tattoo finished. If you remember, last time they just did the outline. He went back for the color. That was his Father's Day present from me. He had paid $200 for the outline and it was going to be another $200 for the color. I gave him $220 (anticipating a tip). Shawn and I accompanied him and I brought my trusty camera to document the visit. 3 hours later, Trey (tattoo artist) still wasn't finished with all of the color. Clay still has to go back for prolly another couple of hours. He's going to wait for the area to heal first. He's really wanting the tattoo finished and healed before we go to San Diego Comic-Con at the end of July.
