Happy Father's Day - kiwi style...

A big Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there and an especially big shout-out to my dad in Samoa and the father of my children, Tofilau Fritz. We were able to spend a neat morning out sharing breakfast with him (for those who were up early enough) in our household and then off to morning church at Life church South (Manukau).

There we were surprised to see Barbers at work shaping the hair of many a-dad and a neat gift for the dads who took up the offer and got a free special treat at church as well as a neat sermon/talk by our Senior Pastor Paul deJong and hi interview with the "Breakers" (NZ Basketball) owner and a player.

Another especially big shout-out to the three talented guys from "The fade joint" in Onehunga who gave of their time and brought a neat smile to many dads and their families. Thanks to Pastor Ben for the idea too! w0w - who would have thought of that in church as well as the "Guns 'n Roses" rendition by one worship band for the hard rocker dad's - what a laugh! but neat to see.

It was really to watch them in action as I didn't initially know what a "fade" haircut meant until it was explained to me by my beloved that it was a special way of cutting hair that "fades" from a No. 1 cut to a little more hair (you can tell that I'm a little out of touch with men's haircut fads).

So it was quite inspirational to see the transformations taking place with the haircuts from those with lots of hair, some unruly at times, to a nicely shaped hair style that took a lot of patience on the part of the recipient and artist flair from the guys. Nice one! and even my beloved received this gift grateful for not having to visit in the next couple weeks.
