Fathers Day in Mid June is always a wonderful celebration for our Dads, Grandfathers, Uncles, Brothers and the men in our lives. It’s our time to give fun Fathers Day gifts, participate in sporting events with Dad, go on boat outings, go fishing, play golf with Dad or stay home to celebrate. Maybe a nap for Dad and then grilling on the patio or in the backyard is what our Dads might like to do for Fathers Day this year.
We always enjoy celebrations of our Dads love and efforts throughout the year. We also treasure our Flag Day and patriotic celebrations. They began in 1916 when President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed June 14th as Flag Day. An Act of Congress in 1949 established it as National Flag Day. This year Fathers Day and Flag Day share the same weekend. We’ll have celebrations for both special days on June 14th and 15th.
Our homes will be ready for entertaining so we can concentrate on having fun on the weekend. We’ll be getting our grills cleaned in anticipation of goodies cooked on the grill. In preparation, we’ve checked areas of our homes for things like debris, little gnats and bugs in our Silhouette® window shadings. Readers wonder why bugs fly into the vane openings on the side; it is all about light. We sell the Silhouettes® partly because of the light capturing qualities. Our filtered views, our increased insulation and privacy are Silhouette® attributes that we love.
In my long time interior design career, we’ve worked with light and color in our projects. So Silhouette® type shadings are very popular among our readers. We realized that light in the vanes is attractive to bugs as well as the Silhouette owners. So we invented CamilyWand™, a safe tool for bug removal when bugs get caught inbetween the vanes. It has a washable, safe sticky tip designed to grab the insect or debris easily and safely without harming the Silhouette® fabric. Readers who have them know the problem, they share the knowledge with friends, and others benefit as well.
When you’ve finished preparing for your parties and celebrations, enjoy your guests, knowing your home is beautiful and ready for company. We at CamilyWand™ wish you a wonderful, safe Fathers’ Day and Flag Day weekend!
