Dear Editor,
You don’t need to go to fancy brunches, dinners, etc. to celebrate Father`s Day. My dad will be 82 in November, so I thought I would go ‘old school’ this year.
First, I showed up at his place in Richmond with a fabulous balloon, which I assured him would last upwards of a few months — the gift that keeps giving! He immediately wanted to go outside. (Perhaps to let the sucker go, but I wouldn’t let him)
Next, a trip to Garry Point Park where a nice Dollar Store kite flying was in order. Who doesn’t like to fly a kite!
Expensive gift? Heck, no — macaroni art. It was a shame that when he opened it, a part of the “D” came off and #1 Dad became #1 Cad. Oh well, it was the thought that counts. Best day ever.
