I’ve worked in public education for more than a few years and can tell that it is often a sad state of affairs in the father department. I could rant for more than anyone wants to hear about the atrocities that Joy and I both encounter on a daily basis as far as parents are concerned, but instead will move on to our Father’s Day celebration of 2010.

My husband was kind enough to volunteer a fish fry!

Joy worked hard on a relish tray. It made a lovely centerpiece!

Everyone else brought side dishes and it was really the perfect meal! We had a great time visiting and sharing gifts with Dad.

My niece, Whittney, won the prize of the year when she gave Dad a framed picture of them together when she was about 2 and riding on the tractor with him. It made the rest of ours seem so commercial!

Then, we had desserts. More on that tomorrow, but a hint for now….
