Friday Forager Faves: For My Dad

Posted on June 17, 2011

Sunday is Father’s Day.  Geographically, I am farther away from my dad than I have ever been in my entire life.  We are blessed, in this age of technology, to still be able to keep up with each other every day even though we are miles apart.  If you’re on the blog’s Facebook page, you’ve seen my dad around.  He reads and “likes” everything I post.  He has always been that kind of father– supportive no matter what I’m doing, even if it isn’t exactly his cup of tea.  Today, in honor of my dad, I’m posting my favorite pieces of art that remind me of him, his interests and the things he loves.  This one’s just for you, Dad!
