Honoring the perfect father
updated: 06/14/2013 1:46 p.m. Discuss
I had to decide whether to write about butchering my azaleas or Father’s Day. I write about my mother all the time, but my dad I only mention from time to time. He likes it that way. But I don’t want people to get the impression that I’m not close to him or that he’s not a great father. It’s just the opposite, really. I’ll never forget a relative saying to me one time, “You think your dad is perfect.” Why, yes, I do.

On impulse, I joined an online decorating-dilemma discussion group. I have been trying to decide on a kitchen backsplash for weeks, and I’m getting nowhere. I quickly posted my problem, and I called it A Tale of Two Tiles — Help! (I thought my take-off on A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens might attract attention.) My hunter-green laminate countertops are history, and now I have nice, quartz countertops, but the walls behind them are torn-up Sheetrock. As I explained when I joined the discussion group, it’s not life or death, but I am about to lose my mind trying to decide on a backsplash to go with my new kitchen countertops.
