Pancakes for brunch today, and slow cooked, lemon and herb rub chicken for dinner later.
We've been making pancakes for Sunday evenings for the best part of 17 years, almost without fail - wonder how many hundreds I've made over the years. A great suggestion in the book - 60 Minute Father which I highly recommend.
And some relaxin and chilling as a family today, finishing our game of poker from yesterday (didn't quite finish it) and another episode of [the original] All Creatures Great and Small.
A good day - and Jo switches to regular Mondays off, so we get a long weekend this weekend :-)
And plenty of fresh lemon juice for both brunch and dinner :-)
Washed down, in between, with milk shake, mixed nuts, Jaffa cakes, lashings of tea...a dreamy and feasty day after a pretty hectic week!

@MaryMamuzich and I certainly try to be a good dad....I didn't have a good role model in either parent - sadly neither of us did, on either side, but quite the opposite.
So we're investing in our children lots are we're thrilled they came to faith when they each turned 4 (Peter had to go one more and asked to follow Jesus the day before his 4th birthday).
They all love Jesus and bring us much joy as both sons and brothers!
Such a privilege to be parents to such wonderful children!!

@Berrybunchfamily Amen!
Our Heavenly Father is our role model ❤️
@Berrybunchfamily 17 years? Wow! You must be quite the expert by now 😁
@bethany you'd hope so wouldn't you lol
I usually make a point of flipping at least one each time too...In the book it was suggested doing a late night on a school night...just because
Since we started home educating 7 years ago, it never felt quite the same....but the pancakes stuck ;-)
Late night, memory building, family times are something we do lots of too 🙂

@Berrybunchfamily I love family traditions😁 Hope you enjoyed the pancakes!
@bethany oooooh.....sooooo very much :-)
@Berrybunchfamily it all looks and sounds like a perfect day! Today would've been my dad's 92nd birthday 😢 I plan to take my mom out for breakfast and have pie later. He was my rock and my mom is my soft place.
You are a good father, I don't know your wife -as of yet - but I know she doesn't quit... She will find her eyes, ears, month and nose sooner or later!! What a sport!! 🤣
God bless your day!
