This old fellow, a father of three grown sons, was going to see his first Father's Day as a widower and he was excited because all three of the children were going to stop by and visit!
The eldest son comes in the door and says "Happy Father's Day! Lost all my money at the casino so I couldn't get you a gift. Sorry."
Middle son comes in the door and says "Happy Father's Day, dad! Had to pay off my speeding tickets this week so I couldn't get a gift. Sorry."
Youngest son comes in the door and says "Happy Father's Day! Lost too much on a bet so I couldn't get you a gift. Sorry."
The old man sat down with his sons and said "I don't know how much longer I've got in this world and there's something I have to tell you. I would NEVER have mentioned this while your mother was alive but since she has passed I have to get this off my chest."
"You see," the father continued, "Your mother and I weren't married when any of you were born."
The sons, with eyes wide, said in unison "You mean we're actually...."
"Yeah!" The old man said. "And you're damn cheap ones, too!"

Reschedule the train trip as soon as you are able. Beautiful scenery and a great ride. That’s the railroad train Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid blew up in the movie. I saw the Cumbres Pass station in another movie recently.
We spent three summers in Antonito Colorado which is one end of that rail line.
You can drive out to the stop in the middle and eat the buffet lunch. One family has ran that stop and restaurant for many years. It follows the valley where the Los Pinos stream runs. I've walked and fished many miles of that stream that runs in New Mexico for the most part.
Their wildlife department has created almost the perfect stream with lots of rocks to create riffles, and small natural rock obstructions to create deeper water up stream with small waterfalls and holes down stream that are perfect habitat for trout, most totally accessible to those with disabilities in some areas. Amazing fishing in that area where we mostly catch and release.
