I’ve heard people eschew this map as being too America-centric.
But I disagree. After all people in the United States live in America. But my main reason is – it is because of growing up with maps like this . . .
. . . that, even as an adult, when someone talks about flying to Japan, I picture them flying east.
Dads, do not dress your kids or yourself in a shirt that does not tuck in.
(But she says she got it from some other source)
Dads, you can’t expect what you aren’t going to inspect.
Dads, if your wife and your mom agree on something, go with it.
Saturday I took all of the kids on an hour and a half 6 stop errand run (so that Debbie could have some time alone doing whatever she wanted) and our last stop was at a park parking lot, where I asked the kids to tell me some words that they associated with their Mom.
That evening then I went over to Wordle and created this:
And then I printed it out and framed it. It’s all true.
I recommend this for your next present opportunity.
I wish I could say it was my idea, but it is in fact an idea borrowed from the Fathers Day gift that Debbie game me 11 months ago.
So pretty much since we moved into our new house, our front door has not worked. And it was drab and Debbie wanted windows into our entryway.
So we asked philthecarl, Chairman and CEO of Phil Carlson Custom Woodcraft to come take a look. Want to see the results?
We are extremely pleased with the results. It’s nice to see sunlight coming from the north part of our living room. And Phil did it for significantly less of a cost than the guy from Home Depot would have charged us.
Theological conversation and/or explanations of what he’s doing at each point* of the process are available upon request. Thank, Phil!
* You may note the big opening in our house visible in the first picture. At first I was like “Wow, I wanted a new door put in here, not a big gaping hole!” But Phil patiently and helpfully explained that before putting the new door in, he had to take the old door out. Which makes sense when you think about it.
Dads, we’re well past the non-green days. But now it’s blossom time.
You only have a week to enjoy the days where trees are exploding with flowers. Go now. Take a walk with your family. Do it for your wife.
We recommend a walk around Como Lake in St. Paul.
