Today we had a Father's Day Brunch for my Dad.
Sunlight speckled table, all three children along with husband Irad, and my mother. My father's phone buzzing as my four siblings called in one by one.
How lucky my children are to have all four grandparents a part of their lives, and how lucky I am to have wonderfully supportive parents, who always want to be with us!
My Dad is a big part of our lives because he is ALWAYS happy to drive my kids around. He always drove all five of us around, too—we are talking about a great deal of driving—a little sideline to his successful career as a physician. I still remember back in the day when patients would send gifts home with him! He finally retired at age 78-yrs-old.
My parents have enabled so much of my own career-travel by staying with my kids, and assisting with driving and baby-sitting (especially when kids were young) to help us fill in some of the blanks that Irad's intense travel schedule created.
The food at brunch wasn't bad either:
Fresh-brewed cardamom coffee,
Home-made Belgian Waffles with mixed berries, syrup and whipped cream,
Fresh bagels (arrived still hot) with cream cheese, butter and lemon jelly
Kale, mushroom and onion frittata
Irad's Home-made Hummus (click here for recipe) with Crudités
Happy Father's Day, Dad!
Nice! Well done, Beck. (I had already gotten the menu details from Dad -- of course I asked!)
