Let's leave my 'Singapore post' for today & pay a visit to my dear father!
Some of you may already know that I come from a 'dysfunctional' family...
(some extremely polite people may just call us 'eccentric', but let's face it;
we're one dysfunctional bunch!). Anyway, I took these photos when I
went to visit my parent's house before I left for Singapore.
~take a look:
.
Let me introduce my dad...in his favorite space,
far-far away from my mom! a.k.a his home office.
.
" Dad...what's that in your back pocket? "
(It's actually the lining of his pants pocket....sticking out!)
~such a stylish statement huh? should be the next fashion trend for this season...
.
One more look ~hehehe...
and he would sometimes go out with that 'thingie' sticking out like that too!
Let's just call it his trademark...shall we~
.

my father is such a neat & tidy person...NOT!!!
On a good day, we can actually see a lovely desk underneath those piles!
(trust me, it's somewhere there!)
.
He buys almost everything in multiples...
because 4 or more of the same book is better than just one?!
Doesn't that sound quite familiar...errr moi ???
.
I'm saving the worst for last!
How can one find anything around these mountains?
...and that computer screen, is circa 1980s~ vintage!!
well-well-well...
as you can see, he doesn't throw much of anything away...
border-line hoarder? ( just like who else...me!!! )
my-my-my...
as much as I hate to admit this,
I think I truly have become more & more like my father!

'Have a Wonderful Father's Day Weekend Everyone!'

Hey Buddy. My mother makes your father look like a minimalist. And my father is just a plain ol' slob. Dysfunctional families make interesting people.
ReplyDeleteLove the "multiples" purchases. I do this with clothing. If I find something that I love in one colour, then my logic is why not have it in many colours.
ReplyDeleteAh ha ha. You should see my garage...I seriously need to toss SO much stuff. Maybe your Dad is lazy like me? HA!
ReplyDeleteMy Dad is not Quite that bad, howver his office is similar in many ways!
ReplyDeleteNot sure I want anyone to see my garage or closets right now!
Great Giveaway on my site!

you are not alone! i am almost as weird as my dad. almost. give it a few more years and i might even be weirder than him. maybe.
ReplyDeleteDad's have more important things to think about than whether their pockets are properly arranged or not, right?
ReplyDeleteSomeday, hopefully, we'll be lucky enough not to care about those insignificant details too!
Thanks for sharing your father and his stuff. They're treasures aren't they!
It's a clean mess at least !
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend Lenore.

ph wow, i could tell, your dad is a great man!
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling post! I can so relate to his buying the same things in multiples - I do the same, as did my father. When my dad passed away, I found boxes and boxes of art, sometimes a dozen of each print? go figure. I wonder what it says about us that we need more than one of the same thing?
ReplyDeleteYour father is adorable! Wishing him a wonderful Father's Day!
Have a wonderful weekend, darling! xox

Lenore, I have to admit, I've been reading pages of your blog lately (trying to catch up ya know?) and every time this post scrolls up, I giggle. I love it! Your Dad is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteAw no matter what type of family.. it's great to have some bonding time with your dad! Did he know you took a picture of his back pocket sticking out? :P On some days my desk looks just like his.. but I'll try to tidy it up every few days :)
