Hammock time

Recently a past client invited me to be her friend on facebook; of course I accepted the invitation. I have enjoyed reading and participating in the conversation. From the conversation I have learned that upon entering the spring season many dads have mentioned hammock time. What a great way for dad to relax on his special day napping in a hammock in the shadiest area of the backyard.

Fire up the grill

Many dads just can’t wait to cook on their man size grills, some Central Ohio outdoor living spaces are quite elaborate. What’s important to most dads is having the family gather to enjoy a meal together that might include hamburgers, hotdogs, brats and maybe a steak. No celebration is complete unless there is dessert. Dad would sure enjoy a dish of ice cream from either Graeters, Handel’s or Cold Stone Creamery all popular Columbus area specialty stores that sell delicious ice cream treats.

Take me out to the ball game

The Columbus Clippers baseball team has a new home. Has dad been to the new Huntington Park stadium located in the Arena District in downtown Columbus Ohio; if not, tickets to a game would be a great Father’s day gift. The new fan friendly stadium is very cool; so many interesting places to watch the game from. Bring a blanket so you can sit on the grass, there are patios and terraces, a 110-foot bar overlooking the field, an open-air rooftop with bleachers. Dad just has to go to see for himself; he will not be disappointed. The day I stopped by to take a photo of the new stadium the game was sold out I am told it’s a very popular place.

How about a round of golf

There are numerous golf courses in the Central Ohio area, some are exclusive, many are private and some are public. There are over 35 courses in Franklin County, 26 in Delaware County and many are also located in Licking and Knox counties. Some of the most famous golf courses are the Muirfield Village Golf Club, Dublin, Scioto Country Club, Upper Arlington, The Golf Club, New Albany and the Double Eagle Club Galena. The most popular public courses include the Phoenix in Grove City, Raymond Memorial Golf Course near Hilliard and the New Albany Links.

A special Father’s Day’s treat at BJ’s Restaurant

Browsing thru the Columbus Dispatch Sunday newspaper I noticed a grand Father’s Day advertisement. On June 20 and 21 every dad that visits BJ’s will receive a commemorative print glass and a chance to win a Premier golf Getaway. BJ’s Restaurant is located at 1414 Polaris Parkway, Lewis Center Ohio. Great selections to choose from including deep dish pizzas, pastas, burgers, steaks, ribs, chicken and more…

A tribute to all Central Ohio dads

When you are a small child your dad looks very tall, his voice is so deep sometimes stern but loving. It was fun to curl up in his strong arms which makes you feel so secure you knew he would protect you. Most modern dads spend as much time as they can with their children. The older generation dads loved their children but they didn’t show much emotion. Being in the real estate biz I see how dads interact with their children, many are involved in their sports activities, give them a helping hand with their school projects, some are gourmet chefs they know how to make a mean mac-n-cheese and of course hot dogs on the grill is their specialty. As the children grow into adults they come to realize that their dads really did do their best they gave as much as they could. Now on their special day take a moment to wish them a very special Happy Father’s Day.
