Happy Father's Day, Gary!!

Since the Utah grandkids spent the night, we decided to do a brunch for Father's Day instead of dinner.  Jessica and family actually gave Gary a tie for Father's Day, which might be the first time in the history of Gary's fatherhood that he actually got a real tie for Father's day.  He got puzzles from the rest of us.

And also this "cool" puzzle sorter which is busy holding the sorted pieces of the San Francisco Giants stadium puzzle Ben gave him.

Ben also had a BBQ coupon from work that he wanted to use to take us to dinner on Monday night.  However, we discovered while we were on our way that it closed at 4:30 during this time so we ended up with outside dining at Cafe Rio. Food was good and the company excellent!

As part of Grandpa Giberson's zoom meeting we got to see all of our grandkids as well and wish them Happy Birthday (and of course, Jena and Ben got special attention from the grandkids as well.)  We missed seeing them in person, but a zoom meeting was fun.  They are growing up so fast.  Of course, a zoom meeting with nine children under the age of six tends to lots of talking, making funny faces and sounds, and noise---not the engaged conversation of Mike's grandchildren who ranged from 14 to 7 years old.  Oh, well--ours will grow!

Long ago, Gary and I had the discussion about "you don't need to mention how much you love me when you bear your testimony in Church."  We aren't fans of that as it should be a daily event in the privacy of your relationship and shown to the world by your actions and conversation.  In the same way, Facebook and other social media isn't really the place that sharing is needed either.  But in this, my personal  family blog---I do want to say how glad I am to be married to you, Gary, and to be sharing my life with you.  I can't imagine building or raising our family with any one else but you.  You have provided us with the necessities of life and many of the pleasures of it as well!  Thanks for your hard work, your love of fun, and your desire to do what is right.  You're a good man, Charlie Brown/Gary Hall!  And we love you so much!
