Happy Father's Day 2022

Todd Swank's Diary Entry for June 20, 2022

We had a very pleasant Father's Day weekend.  Luke & Avery took us out to my favorite restaurant for dinner.  I'm a pretty lucky man.

On Saturday we helped celebrate our friend, Jacob Korkowski, celebrate his graduation from high school.  We had a great time at his party, but unfortunately didn't spend much time with Jacob himself as I realized when I checked my camera and didn't have a single photo of him.  Glad I snapped this one shortly before we entered the house.

I did get a picture of his brother and sister along with Luke & Avery & Lizzy.  We all had a bunch of fun together.

We also enjoyed meeting members of their extended family and had plenty of nice conversations that went well into the evening.

It's been really hot in Minnesota this week so when the party was over and we heard some people were going to jump in the pool we jumped at the chance to join them.  We don't get a lot of hot weather in Minnesota, but this is my favorite activity when we do!

Avery continues to take my boat during our weekends.  One of these days I'll get a turn with it again.

Our other excitement of the week was several visits from this possum who walked across the top of our fence at dusk for 4 nights in a row.  I posted the following TikTok video and received quite a few comments from friends and relatives.  They educated me on Possum habits and on the wisdom if I should try to pet it or not if he decides to visit again.  I'm still deciding.
