A Summer Sunday Morning...

Just left 8:30 Mass, in memory if my father. Breakfast at the Americana diner then over to the Hamilton 24 to take the entire family to see "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince"

 My daughters were in Harry Potter camp all week and have already seen the movie. They're excited to see it again...

 I'm dragging since I didn't get back from last nights gig till after 3 am.
