The Housecoat

 This memory would not be shared by the general public.  In the comfort of his home, Dad would wear his housecoat around for things like creation of French toast on the weekend or a quick retrieval of the newspaper from the mailbox and then reading in the lazyboy.  Over the years this house coat deteriorated more and more. I think he found it funny and a badge of honour to wear it in such a state. I remember being a bit concerned welcoming close friends into our circle, because it could border on indecent (Not really)...but it is a funny memory that our family can reminisce about. I believe the end of the road for the house coat was that it was used by a friend for creating a few gag birthday gifts.
