F.very year, many women, not only acknow ledge their fathers on this special day, but also their husbands. Exactly how they observe this day varies from person to person. We asked some of our readers to share what they do. So if you’re wondering how to show apprecia tion toward that man in your life, read these responses and get some ideas. Elfncdc M. Kohut of Boycr lown said, “My husband doesn’t need to do dishes. It’s the day we go out to eat and I pick up the lab.” Valerie S(runic of Boycrtown said, “It’s breakfast in bed for my husband.” JoAnn DcCesar of Blandon promises, “I’ll be cooking him a meal —something that’s a rarity when summer comes and I’m busy in the garden.” Said Sherry Wenger, Manhcim, “Growing up I was fortunate to have a loving and caring father. When choosing a husband, 1 looked for the same qualities and found them. The men in my life are very important to me and make me feel that I am important to them also.” I love to eat out, so of course, my Father’s Day gift to my husband, father and father-in-law is taking them out to eat.” Michele Rodgers, Berks exten sion home economist and a colum nist for “Lancaster Farming,” said, “This Father’s Day is special because it’s my husband’s first year as a father.” And what does he get for his first Father’s Day pre sent? Michele answers, “I’m giv ing him a promissory note for a ride on the Blue Mountain Steam Railroad.” Marian Groff and her husband John have been married 28 years. Their seven children and Marian give cards and little gifts. This year, Marian wrote in prose some values that she intends to continue fulfilling to make her husband, John, feel special year around.
