Collectables Tablescapes: The Neckties of William and Howard
My father was the best. I bet yours was too. We had ice cream together almost every night, he painted with me and tried to sell my paintings at 15 years old, he helped with all my slumber parties, he took me to Disneyland as soon as we got to California and my sister got over her chicken pox, he spent hours helping me with my math homework, he had banana splits every Saturday morning at Baskin-Robbins and got me my first summer job, he let me drive his sports car with the clutch, he got mad rarely but disciplined with a firm hand. I miss him.
