Father's Day Present

I was talking to my mom last week and asked her what my dad wanted for Father's Day.  She said that he had sent my sister a link to Craigslist with a listing of some goats and told her that was what he wanted.  In fact, he has always talked about wanting a goat.  The other night I was really racking my brain trying to figure out what to get for him.  I knew that I would have a few extra weeks to get him a present since I won't see him until the beginning of July.  I happened to check my email and found an email from Compassion International with their gift catalog (probably trying to target people like me trying to think at last minute of what to get their father...and it worked on me!) where you can buy a gift like building supplies, mosquito nets, chickens, etc for children with the Compassion organization in honor of someone else.  I was scrolling through and found a goat.  I thought it would be the perfect gift for my dad, so I called up my sister and asked her if she would be willing to go in half with me and she was all for the idea as well.  I was hoping that I would be able to send the goat directly to my compassion child, but it doesn't work out that way.  So, we bought the goat and they had a page that could be printed out with a picture of a goat and it lets the person know that a gift has been bought in their honor.  My wonderful sister printed it out on nice paper and framed it for my dad for his father's day present.  :-) 

My dad was pretty excited about it since he finally got to get his goat, but he doesn't have to take care of it and someone get better use out of it than he could! 

Happy Father's Day Dad!
