Just what you need, someone reminding you to remember something else on the dang calendar. But this is really important: June 20th Fathers Day is fast approaching and a dollar store tie or a chocolate bar with a lame card is not what you should give to show your love. Dad deserves soooo much more.
My alter ego’s are clamoring to say their peice so here we go:
Mae “B” West ( a gal who needs no formal introduction) emphatically declares that Dad….men in general for that matter, require an extraordinary amount of time and attention. Being the quintessential Daddy’s girl Mae suggests rewarding your Daddy with ‘over the top treatment’. For example if Dad likes fishing, be ready when he gets home from work with his rod and tackle box in hand. Don’t forget to be wearing waders or whatever rigging is required. This is all about showing Dad that you know what makes him happy. Be his helper bait the hook, hand him a sandwich or just sit quietly while he tells you how its done. Mae says Dads love to tell you how things are done….thats one of the things great Dads do!
Country crooner Parksville Patsy concurs. She adds in most cases a Dad’s happiness can’t be bought. It is more esoteric than that. Dad needs to know that he is Dad: the King of the castle, Master of the manor, Lord of the land. Like a wild stallion leading the way, Dad needs to know he is the one the family trusts for guidance and leadership. Patsy suggests letting Dad lead on his special day. A jeep ride up a winding back road where his superior navigational skills results in an incredible roadside lunch overlooking a spectacular view, or a boating adventure where Captain Dad discovers a pristine beach on a mysterious island. Your attitude is everything, this is a priceless way to show that you appreciate Dad for his unique gifts.
Finally the Brazillian Bombshell Carmilitta Maranda suggests sweetening the pot with a trip to Dads favourite eatery to noshe on something he really likes. No quiche and banana lettuce wraps here, just a mouth watering serloin steak or a rustic buffalo burger, an ice cold beverage and a few laughs and your Dad will be smiling ear to ear as he enjoys being the centre of attention.
Hope to see you and your special guy Saturday June 19th at the Final Approach Restaurant, Qualicum Beach Airport where we’ll be honouring Dad with great food, toe tapping tunes and a heaping helping of love. It’ll be a busy night with two seatings so reserve early 250 752 8966 !
Cheers Dad, Your the best!
