HAPPY FATHERS' DAY!

I know most people celebrated Fathers' Day last Saturday, 18 June.

But I don't operate on a commercialised calendar.

I use a slightly different version.

I operate on the "those-that-matter" calendar,

which means that Fathers' Day (and Mothers' Day etc etc)

is whenever they (those-that-matter) decide it is.

And they have decided that it is today.

To be celebrated with a dinner.

So, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY.

With Love,

Mae
