QUOTEABLE:
The older I get, the smarter my father seems to get.

I NEVER KNEW THAT!
Animals are fathers too! Check out their responsibilities:
A father ocean catfish is a true example of a devoted father. He carries the eggs of his young is his mouth until they are ready to be born, which may take up to several weeks. During that time, he cannot eat a thing!
Penguins are another good example; Father penguins keep on their feet in arctic temperatures for sixty days or more to protect his eggs. He hides them on top of his feet, hiding them with feathered flap. Like the catfish, he cannot eat for the duration of his guard of the eggs.
Now its time to treat the Dad’s in your life with something tastey!
For fishing, hiking, or road trips, Dad will love this spacious cooler with shoulder strap and exterior pockets. It arrives brimming with gourmet treats, including 48 Nibblers® bite-siz cookies, and 24 brownie bites.

I don’t know about you, but shopping for Dad whether it’s for his birthday or the holidays is difficult for me! I labor over what the perfect gift to give him. Anxiety and stress starts to seep in as the day gets closer. Father’s Day is no different! Actually, for me, it’s worse!
Shopping in the stores a fumble across many tacky ties, odd games, anything to do with golf, and boxer shorts? None of that stuff fits my father. I want to give him something that he will remember and that he will appreciate. Something that will make an impact this Father’s Day. Then it hit me!
What is more sentimental, impactful, and memorable than flowers? There are so many options today! Just take a look!
Golden mini sunflowers herald sunny summer days. This carefree bouquet sends cheery wishes for all those special occasions – birthday, anniversary, new baby, get well, or to simply say thanks.
Adam and Eve didn’t have it this good! This basket is packed with a mouth-watering array of seasonal fruits and chocolate squares.
If wishes were flowers, they’d look like this: a gala of yellows, pinks, peaches and purples, with feathery greens in our glass vase.
It’s Father’s Day! And that means dad is busting out the grill and getting ready to live large. Help him celebrate with this festive arrangement of manly party favorites. Includes Harley Davidson “Road Food”, Jim Beam sunflower seeds, Everlast energy drink, BBQ Tortilla chips, nacho cheese, soda pop and more. The 14” galvanized metal pail is perfect for chilling his favorite brew. Other tools of the partying trade include BBQ tongs, a spatula and basting brush! Yea life is good.
Don’t underestimate the power of flowers for Dad this year. More great ideas to come tomorrow!
