Poppie's day, potluck, fishing and a day to play....... OH, and a thief...

Poppie is a workaholic, as most of you know.  He almost daily drives out to Lozeau, which is 10 miles one way to feed the Professors animals before he starts his day of things to do here.  Professors is usually home but is sort of becoming an absent minded, or maybe overworked with he has to do list, professor so Poppie usually feeds his animal every day.  It is sometimes wearing on Poppie the twoish hours it takes to go do it but he likes to do it, but once in a while he doesn't have to go out and do it so he gets a break.  He is currently off doing that right now because he had to get up this morning at 6 to do something else, normally that's when he goes to feed the rabbits.  But today he had a very important mission he had to make grilled on the barbeque chicken for the Church Potluck.  He had offered to make the chicken and since it would take to long to do it after Church he was to do it at home.  He thought that if he made it yesterday it would be heated up chicken and not fresh grilled chicken, needless to say he was up at 6 this morning to start his charcoal.  He has recently discovery lump charcoal and loves it far and above brick charcoal.  He lite the bricks at 6 and put the chicken on the grill at 7 and babied it until 9:10 when he took it off the grill to be at Church at 9:30.  His chicken was a big hit, Preacher said it was the best chicken he ever had several times.  Poppie tried to explain how he cooks it.  I cut the back bone out and he cooks it flayed open in one piece.  It makes it juicer and it is easier to cook one piece than a bunch of little small pieces that want to dry out.  Poppie did a wonderful job the chicken really was good.  We had a very nice potluck with the whole Church family.

We are going fishing later today, well right after Poppie and the Ladies get back from feeding rabbits.  We were going to go yesterday but conked a little longer than we expected. We had a booyaha day of conking filled to large boxes clean to the top.  We were in the creek bed and surround for about 2 hours.  When we got back to the car Poppie tried to start it but it wanted to cough and spit.  He tried it again it started but coughed and spit.  He got out of the car and right behind the car were tracks where someone had backed right up to the car, siphoned the gas out and then sped away in a small car, like maybe a Subaru.  I got on the cell phone to call for help, we were only about 3 miles from the house but it was hot and would have been a long walk especially to have to walk to town to get more gas.  I called and Mokie didn't answer.  I called and Drama's clan didn't answer.  I called and Brother happily answered the phone,  he was happy to come out and save us.  He wouldn't even take any money for the gas or saving us.  He said Poppie picked up The Little all the time.  We were sure thankful that he came to save us and he was so loving and kind to do it because.  Aside to all his help, The Little will officially be adopted in court on Tuesday, praise the Lord for it has been a long hard road these many years that Sister and Brother have been working to adopt their second adopted child.  The Lord is great and knows which child to bless us each with, the other children that came and went in their lives were only passing through their lives but The Little is well and truly their child to love and hold.  I know I digressed but it wasn't a digression it was a moment of joy and off subjectness, but for good cause.....

We are going fishing today, we almost took Preacher and family with us but they needed their Sunday naps so will join us a different time.  The Ladies are so excited to use their new poles and cast into the depths to see what they can lure on to their lines.  I think Poppie is excited to use his new folding lounge chair that he got for father's day from Church.  He wants to just enjoy his daughter enjoying themselves.  I got him a new fancy drill sets, a hammer drill and a regular drill, but he needed it earlier in the week so he already got it and has used it on my pantry.  I want to grout my pantry and all the tile will be done but father's day in only once a years so I will wait until tomorrow to do it and send you all photos of the process and the completion, well maybe the photos will have to wait until Tuesday but I have them ready and will take some of the completion. 

I hope that all the Fathers out there have a lovely day.  Remember to love you father and give him a hug, if only in your dreams if he has passed on to glory.  I want you all to remember that our Father in heaven wants our love and hugs too.  He want's our obedience just as any father wants that of his child.  We can all be the adopted children of God the Father and share with Christ in his inheritance of God's Grace.  Christ gave it all so we could be his adopted brethren, today on father's day it could be your day to join in a new family.  God's family, he wants to be your Father. Today can truly be fathers day if you accept his invitation of salvation, let today day be your day of adoption and salvation....tomorrow.
