Per our annual tradition, I took my father out for his Father's Day dinner after a day at East Hampton, CT's town-wide annual Chatham Historical Society tag sale event.

Dad's memorabilia

Dad is a WWII veteran, a biker, and his mother loved cardinals.

The economy's so bad...

...even banks are having tag sales!

That Cobra's so nice, you gotta see it twice! Cut and paste error, but I'm not changing it, for sake of the joke.

The dinner presentation looks especially good! I'm starting to like the square plates that are getting so popular lately in restaurants. But you scared me with the "Father's Day" at first...I had to check the calendar to make sure I hadn't missed it this weekend! Was worried, as I've been really forgetful lately. Then I remembered, I did have my dad over for dinner for Father's Day -- last month!:)
