For Father's Day. Went with Fred and Julia to the Father's Day social in tge North.  Where Steve claimed he single handedly raised the kids til they were 18.  Like I didn't help at all.  Frankly I think he blames me for all the mess and trouble  that went on.  Came home. Dinner.  Another fight ensued over the TV program we should watch. Wonder if he is nervous about his heart tests.  Hopefully tomorrow is better.
