Hello Port Washington, Manhasset, and Roslyn readers.
Happy Flag Day! Did you know that it was established in 1777 to commemorate the adoption of the US flag and was declared an official holiday in 1949.
This sure has been a rainy week. I hope the weekend will clear up so we can go the pool or beach, and play outside.
CONGRATULATIONS to reader Kate W. who won the family four-pack to Pinaklicious! Enjoy and let us know how it was.
Best wishes to all the dads. May your children bring ...

Father's Day Gift Ideas
Macaroni Celebrates
Father's Day gifts are always a struggle. Dads have it easy on Mother's Day -- flowers, jewelry, a beautiful trinket, a few hours of quiet time -- we're easy to please. But Father's Day gifts are hard. Do we go sentimental? Do we go manly? Do we encourage a new hobby? (That hardly ever works out for me... the beer making kit is STILL sitting in the basement two years later and don't even get me started on the Dremel tool.)
Just like Moms, Dads just want ...

Why, Dad?
Macaroni Reviews
Why, Dad? by Carlos Lucas is a sweet book about a typical day with a father and his preschool daughter, Erin. Instead of the typical father/child book which tends to feature the pair doing ‘Norman Rockwell’ type activities like fishing and skipping stones, this story features a typical day where the loving Dad steers his constantly-questioning daughter through her day while providing her with real, age-appropriate answers. It’s a nice read which models positive behavior for our little tykes.
