​This is an open letter to Dads (and their families, of course).  Father’s Day “officially” comes once a year, but while we want to celebrate and respect you, Dad, all the time, on this day, you get a free pass.  You can relax with the sports channels, play golf, tennis, fish or veg as the spirit takes you and we won’t ask or expect you to do a thing around the house.

​“Official” summer has arrived and it seems everything happened so quickly after Memorial Day.  We move outside, weather permitting, and it seems we’re moving in all directions, as well.  It’s the month of graduations and Father’s Day – the first month of summer and hopefully, the month of vacations for some.  Our social life has revved up and with it, the need to get our house inside and out, in order – but the warm and sunny weather seems to defeat our best intentions.  You, of course, are ready – right?
