I was up at 4:35 this morning. I went in to put the roast in the crockpot. To my surprise, Kim was already up. She was putting post-it notes up on the kitchen cupboards, and in the hallway and on the dining room hutch. When I asked her what she was doing, she said, "I'm putting up dad jokes." She put up at least 41. Here are a few of my favorites:
Dad Jokes
1. I love going outdoors. It's much safer than going out windows.
2. I asked my wife if she loved me for my face or my body. She laughed and said it was for my sense of humor.
3. Whenever the cashier at the grocery store asks my dad if he would like the milk in a bag he replies: "No, just leave it in the carton!"
4. I was upset when my neighbor put a fence around his swimming pool. Then I got over it.
5. Why did the mushroom get invited to all the parties? Because he was a fungi.
6. What does a grape say when it is squashed? Nothing, it just lets out a little wine.
7. What country's capital is growing the fastest? Ireland. Every day it's Dublin.
8. Just had a policeman knock on my door saying he was looking for a man with one ye. I told him to use both and he'd probably find him a lot quicker.
9. Meet Rolex and Timex...they are my watch dogs.
10. At my age I am good at multitasking. I can listen, ignore, and forget all at once.
11. My recliner and I go way back.
12. I never knew how technologically advanced Moses was. He had the first tablet that could connect to the cloud.
13. What do you call a cow that eats your grass? A lawn moo-er.
14. Why did the scarecrow win an award? Because he was outstanding in his field.
15. When I was young I was scared of the dark. Now when I see my electric bill I am scared of the lights.
16. Amal and Juan are identical twins. Their mom only carries one baby photo in her wallet. Because if you've seen Juan you've seen Amal.
17. My wife's mad at me because she said I never buy her flowers. I honestly didn't even know she sold flowers.
18. I have a pet tree. It's like having a pet dog, but the bark is quieter.
19. Sometimes I wake up grumpy. But other times I let her sleep in.
20. Why is Cinderella bad at soccer? Because she runs away from the ball.
21. You come from dust, you will return to dust. That's why I don't dust. It could be someone I know.
the dark and then the light when he saw his electric bill.
Both Brian and Kim are feeling sick this morning and won't be going to church. James gave them both a blessing and then they went back to bed.
Before leaving for church I added carrots, celery, and onions to the roast and put the potatoes in the crockpot to heat up.
None of the Wilhelm's are at church, except for Mel, the grandpa who has health issues. I found out later they all of the family is gone to Washington state to Andy's wedding.
Today is high councilman Sunday. Matt Hipps was our assigned speaker. Carson Alder was his speaking companion and Carson's dad, President Alder of our stake presidency spoke also.
When Carson spoke he told a story about his dad on his mission in Italy in the late 1900's. President Alder mentioned it when he spoke, about how it made him seem so old.
All of the brothers were invited into the Relief Society room for biscuits and gravy during the second hour. Tamara, Jimmy Applegate's wife, taught gospel doctrine. I loved her lesson and was impressed with her power point. I guess I am going to have to get Kerri to show me how to do power point. Here is one slide:
When we got home Kim and Brian were still downstairs, asleep. I wanted the roast to cook a little longer but I was hungry. I asked James if he would please bring in the cake from the refrigerator out in the garage. We had cake for lunch and it was absolutely delicious. I also had a protein shake so the sugar would be slowed down by the protein.
After our cake we took a nap, Tom and James on the bed and me on the recliner.
I got up at 2:00 and went into the kitchen/dining room to find Kim & Brian just finishing their meal. Brian said the roast was cooked to perfection and that the potatoes were delicious. He gave me a big thank you.
When James got up he opened his Father's Day gifts and cards.
I gave him three Superman shirts, all different and a new pair of jeans. Kim & Brian gave him a $50 Amazon gift card and so did Darrel & Trina. I think he had a great Father's Day. He heard from all of his children and I hope he knows how much we love and appreciate him!
Our friends, T-Bo & Barbara Tignor love carrot cake and we shared some of ours with them. While we were at their house we admired the rocks and steps that had put around their property.
Before I left for the Tignor's Kim was helping me with my handouts for Sunday. While James and I were gone, Brian and Kim finished them. I am so happy! Fifty gift boxes ready to go!
Later James and I had some roast, veggies, and potatoes. I didn't eat a roll but I think James did. I also made a salad which Kim and James both had and then I spent over two hours cleaning the kitchen and putting all of the food away.
Just a couple of more notes. Kim has a knew blood glucose device that fits in her arm and automatically tells her what her blood sugar is on her phone. She was reading the book, "Fly Lady" by Heather Moore so I downloaded it on my DeseretBook Plus app and began reading it. It is historical fiction. It's about women pilots who helped during World War II and all of the characters are real historical figures.
"I testify that babies and children and youth are images of the kingdom of God flourishing on earth in all of its strength and beauty."

D&C 63:64
Remember that that which cometh from above is sacred, and must be spoken with care, and by constraint of the Spirit; and in this there is no condemnation, and ye receive the Spirit through prayer; wherefore, without this there remaineth condemnation.
