Caramel German Chocolate Brownies helped make our Father’s Day celebration a success. They were very rich, yummy and gooey!

I am so grateful for the many fathers out there that have been such a great example to me. They have made many sacrifices and worked so hard so that I can be who I am today!

My husband is an amazing man. He is a hard worker and he has put up with me for almost 30 years. It has been a great journey. And I didn’t get him a quilt kit! We did get him a fun game called “Striker”. It is a fast paced game. You can play it inside or out.

I recommend outside if you don’t want something broken; people get a little wild! It has a net and 3 little round balls that you bounce back and forth on the net. It is harder than it sounds. But it is fun. And of course, he got his Caramel German Chocolate Brownies!

I must tell you what my cute little 2 1/2  year old granddaughter gave her dad. He came home from work on Friday afternoon totally exhausted, and so he said to his wife that he would like to lie down for about 30 minutes, and so he did.

Mom was in the kitchen making dinner and little sis disappeared very quietly. She sneaks down the hall and into mom and dad’s bedroom where she finds dad! Then she finds mom’s bright pink nail polish.

Yep you guessed it, dad is asleep and she starts painting his nails. Isn’t that the sweetest thing ever. Dad rolls over not knowing what is going on and goes back to sleep. Dad did get a little nail polish on the bed, but little sister didn’t. Ha ha.

The moral of this story is: if you have a granddaughter like mine, get rid of all markers, nail polish, makeup and crayons; oh ya and paint. And if you think for one minute you can hide the treats and snacks from her, you are dead wrong. She is a magnet.

 

I guess that she is practicing to do nails when she grows up, or she will be a famous painter. She already has her signature on the wall. Good thing she’s so cute. And I guess that dad didn’t love his nails, but it sure gave the rest of us the gift of laughter. Thanks to the two of them.

 

 

What are some of the fun things that you do for Fathers Day? We always try and have a special dinner and play a few games. I know that a lot of people have great ideas, so let’s all share and get some new fun things going!

Growing up I don’t know that we did a lot, but we did have a great respect for my dad. When he came in the room, we got up and got out of his favorite chair, with no questions asked. I look back and I am glad that we did that; I think that it was not only a show of respect, but a simple way to say I love you.

Actions speak louder that words. Let’s show someone today that we love them and do it without saying words, or go ahead and use some nice words too. Enjoy the Caramel German Chocolate Brownies. They will most certainly tell someone that you love them!
