I asked my dad how he wanted to spend Father's Day, and he just smiled and said 'just like any other day, with the people I love'

My dad's idea of a relaxing weekend is

spending 5 hours in the garage, only to emerge with a slightly cleaner workbench and a list of 12 new projects to start

On Father's Day, I decided to give my dad the gift of a personalized photo album filled with pictures of his grandkids.

As he flipped through the pages, he got teary-eyed and said, 'This is the best gift I've ever received – mainly because it's the only thing they've ever made that doesn't have glue on it.'

Forget fancy brunches or gift certificates for a massage, my dad has his own version of a perfect Father's Day indulgence.

It's three uninterrupted hours in the garage, arguing with a stubborn bolt, and finally declaring victory over a broken sprinkler head.
