Fathers Day 2012

He didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.


We began the day at church before heading south to the Elks Lodge to celebrate with family and friends. We first went to Newport Beach with Robin, Bob and Nick plus Herbie, Irene, Ellen, and Bill and of course Vicky and Del. We then headed for the Santa Ana Elks for the Jam Session .

We were not yet done... Sue and I went to Downtown Disney and had a drink and visited with the Catal gang!
