My dad's friends think he's a master carpenter because of all the home improvement projects he starts

but really, he's just a master of finding creative ways to use duct tape and prayer to hold things together

I asked my dad how he wanted to celebrate Father's Day this year

and he said he just wanted to finally finish the deck he started building in 2018

My dad always says he doesn't need much for Father's Day, just a little quiet time and maybe a few things around the house fixed.

So this year, I let him have his quiet time... while he supervised me fixing everything on his honey-do list. He said it was perfect, because he got to relax AND teach me something.

My dad's idea of retirement is

having enough time to finish all the projects he's been putting off until the weekend
