Our Father's Day 2009

Why does my family make me feel like I'm the paparazzi? I did bring the camera but didn't get any shots because they moaned every time I asked to take a photograph.

We took DH to Outback Steakhouse. We went early, skipping breakfast, and it was still crowded. The manager gave DH a $10 off coupon for our next visit. Hmmm.... next month's date night?

After lunch, we took DH shopping at Preplayed, a used movie and video game store. He picked out a few cheesy movies. We then headed over to a used book store, Frugal Muse, but unfortunately, didn't find anything worth while. They are getting ready for a move, so it seems inventory is low.

Our last stop was to try the new Sonic for dessert. I had the new bundt cake sundae, DH a rootbeer float, DS13 a Reeses Blast and DS10 a cherry slushy. It was all very tasty and the only strange thing was when the car hop later came and asked us if we wanted ketchup. We don't normally enjoy ketchup with our ice cream. I was pleased to see they offer flavored ice teas and during "Happy Hour", 2-4pm, they are half price! I may just have to plan a detour on my next drive to work.

Our Sonics have all closed. I must admit that we never tried them when they were open....

Sounds like a nice Father's Day! Have a good week - stay in where it's cooler!

I still haven't made it to our Sonic that opened this winter. A cherry slushy sounds very refreshing.

Why does this sound so familiar, lol! You can bet I have the same problem. Mind you, I have the principle that when I post pictures on the net I try to avoid others' pictures as much as possible and am with my own pictures only. In that way, no one should have anything to complain. I have a lot of family and such pictures on my computer but it's better that I deal with my own face only and not with others. So many people do seem to have a problem with "pictures in publicity".

We celebrate Father's Day on November, so there's still a way to go. It's good to hear you had some good time though. I've not spend the Father's Day with my dad for years because we don't live in the same place but I call him each time, of course, and remember him on that day.
