Hi all! June has been a bit of a wacky month for those of us at Drollerie, but we’ve gotten together a blog tour round of posts for you regardless. This time, we’re addressing the theme of fathers. As always, we invite you to come by all our various sites to see what everybody’s got to say, and do please feel free to join in by dropping comments and starting conversations! We hope to see you coming by.

Thanks again for giving us all a look, and y’all may notice I’m hosting two posts–don’t mind us on that, like I said, it’s been a wacky month. But at any rate, happy belated Father’s Day to all you fathers out there, and come back next month to see what we’ll be posting about!
