Father's day

Another Father's Day has come to pass and a good time was had by most.  I ended up sick and laid up for most of the day, but my husband and son got to go to my in-laws and it looked like they had a wonderful time.  My husband is sweet and sends me pictures of all the shenanigans my son gets up to out at their farm.
I even managed to talk to my dad for a few minutes.  We aren't especially close and this seems to be the trend as we get older.  It used to bother me a lot when I was a kid, but I am too old to care much anymore.  I did manage a few gifts this year for my local dads, for my step dad, the man who has everything....
he has a deep and abiding love for baked strawberry pie, so thats what I made!  He seemed to like it pretty well and my mom said it was good so I was satisfied with my efforts.  Im never going to be remembered for my pie making, so any achievement in the pie field is worth noting. The recipe wasn't hard at all, I would recommend it for any novice.  Check it out at http://allrecipes.com/recipe/the-old-boys-strawberry-pie/





For my father-in-law, the man who has absolutely everything he might ever want in the history of ever, we picked up a book on Airedale terriers.  They have a new puppy and this went over well (thanks to my mother-in-law's suggestion). I note it here, because when I wrapped it, I ran out of ribbon.  This drives me nuts, as I have so much craft stuff, I should be able to summon a ribbon out of paint, glitter and determination.  So never one to be deterred for long, I improvised...

kind of cute, right?

another year taken care of.  My husband is enjoying his itunes gift card (he's so easy to shop for sometimes) and I'm resting on my laurels.  Hope you all had a wonderful day with your dads.
