My dad always says he doesn't need anything fancy for Father's Day, just a quiet afternoon and a perfectly mowed lawn.

But then I caught him showing off the misshapen clay mug I made him in kindergarten to his golf buddies, and I realized his heart's true desire was always just for us to be there... and maybe make him something.

My dad's garage is so organized,

he can find a screw from 1992 faster than I can find my car keys.

I asked my dad what he wanted for Father's Day.

He said, 'Just the perfect articulating ladder so I can finally reach that one spot on the gutters I've been meaning to fix since last spring.'

I asked my dad what his ideal Father's Day relaxation involved.

He said, 'A few hours in the garage, finally organizing my screws by size and thread.'
