Happy Father's Day!

Ah dads, they teach us stuff, like how to tie a tie, how to fish, how to rub sticks together to make fire, good manners, how to check the oil on the car and how to say please and thank you. Some dads do this kind of stuff. Some don't.
.
The Wonderhub has taught the Boy how to cook, in the kitchen and over a fire, how to lay bricks, how to weed, how to ride a motorcycle, a bike and a quad. He also taught him how to play chess and checkers and they can both can defrag a hard drive and make a bed. (Well okay, I lied about the kid being able to make a bed.)
.
I've butted heads with my dad since the day I was born and our relationship has been that of two strong willed people. I guess apples don't fall far from the tree. But I know that I inherited my ambition from my dad, my love of travel, my entrepreneurial spirit and as my husband teases me, my ability to grab any microphone and talk into it. I also got my love of family from my dad.
.
So here's to dads. May they enjoy their day.

Best thoughts,

My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard. Mother would come out and say, "You're tearing up the grass." "We're not raising grass," Dad would reply. "We're raising boys. ~ Harmon Killebrew
