My dad's perfect Father's Day usually involves him disappearing into the garage for a bit.

He says he's 'meditating,' but I think he's just making sure his wrenches haven't changed size since last Tuesday.

Dad's been working on his latest home improvement project for weeks

I'm starting to think his 'honey-do' list is actually a 'never-done' list

My dad spent Father's Day happily starting a new home improvement project.

When I asked what he was building, he said, 'A bigger storage shed for all the tools I bought for the *last* project I started!'

I asked my dad why he still keeps all my childhood artwork, even the really bad drawings, and he said

it's because he's not looking at the artwork, he's looking at the memory, and that's something no artist can replicate.
