The countdown is on ...we will not stress you out by saying how many days until Christmas...maybe you're pondering  what to buy for the guys on your list. You walk into the Big box guy store...and the smell of tires and rubber knocks you out, you beat a hasty retreat back to your vehicle. Think, think, THINK, what to get?

Your Dad - Dragon slayer.

Your Dad: Spider-killer, slayer of all Dragons ( under the bed and elsewhere), your #1 go-to for advice person, the person you ran to to plead your case when Mom was being nasty...

We talked to a few different people about their Dads: "What do you remember about your Dad?" "He tried to do things on his own, even if he didn't really know what to do, so he encouraged me by his example to try out a new skill. I had bought my first car, and the body of the car needed painting, I was going to use some spray cans, my Dad then bought me a paint sprayer and soon I was painting my brother's cars and other family vehicles.He had a strong belief in God - he was a Farmer, Don't worry, he would say, the Good Lord will take care of us." And, he did.  "Tell us about your Dad.." "My Dad was a man of few words. I often wished he would talk more. We never hugged much in our family - no open displays of affection, more of a business like handshake. Later on, when I was older, I realized that he would do anything to take care of his family. He was at home in Nature...climbing mountains near the rainforest,collecting rare orchids, and growing a kazillion varieties of crotons. He was my hero as one day he came home from one of his trips and brought me a real puppy, who promptly hid behind his briefcase." As I grew older I often screamed for Dad...Daddeeeeeee...! It's a tarantula, a snake, a bat... save me!!"   Take a moment to write down your stories about your Dad, if he has passed on, maybe this is the time to plant a tree in his memory, in your garden.  Spoil your Dad this Father's Day, Sunday June 21st. with a special Gift from The Camellia.  Hand-tied Fishing lures from Your Perfect Catch, buy and pay online ($3.49 ea.) at http://www.yourperfectcatch.com/fathers-day.
