This had to be my best Father's Day ever. We were going to go out for breakfast but everybody had the same idea and the grandkids weren't going to sit still that long. Katie and Jenny got some breakfast food and Jenny, Katie, and Robby cooked it all up. Yum!

After we ate, I subjected them to having their portraits scanned. "Do we have to do this, Dad?" "Yes, it's Father's Day!" Every one had a fun time with this. This is one of Katie. Check out rest of the scanned portraits of my family .

It got better. I knew there was to be a surprise gift from Jenny and Katie. Robby, Zoe, and I took the Robyn and Mikey down to the beach at Double Bluff while Jenny and Katie prepared the surprise. Zoe took a lot of wonderful pics of this at Zoe's Father's Day Album at Ofoto.

We returned home and Jenny and Katie had spent the entire afternoon doing a deep cleaning of my house. Really deep. They started with a vacuum cleaner that actually sucks, and dusted, oiled bookcases, scrubbed sinks, washed all windows (inside and out), cleaned the glass on all the pictures on the wall, cleaned the keyboard and monitor (removed the food particles), scrubbed the shower, and even folded the toilet paper into a little V. They used to clean Bed and Breakfasts here on the Island and brought all their professional cleaning experience into play. They needed to.

Truly an act of love. They couldn't have made me feel any more special.

[The next day — I keep finding new things that they cleaned. I didn't realize my bathroom faucet could ever be that shiny again. How did they do that?]
