GRATEFUL FOR A WONDERFUL FATHER'S DAY

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has given me a wonderful Father's Day.

Yesterday we went to a Watch Party in Mineola Park for the World Cup. Sitting in the park was absolutely wonderful.   This was followed by Big Joe's Barbecue in North New Hyde Park which made it an awesome day.

Today I took Charlie out to breakfast at The French Connection.  I bought 2 wonderful coffee cups for our apartment too.

Michael and Andrew will be arriving at 2:30 today for Father's Day.  We will be having gluten free pizza and the trimmings.

 I am grateful to the Almighty for this wonderful day.

Thank you.
