Happy Father's Day!

A few random bits about my dad...

*As a kid, if I really, reaLLY, REALLY wanted to do something & I had a choice to ask mom or dad, I asked dad.

*I love hanging out with my dad. He is so silly. And goofy. And when he laughs really hard: It. Is. The. Best.

*I once tricked my dad into eating dog jerky. He liked it & would've eaten the whole stick if I hadn't been keeled over bursting with laughter.

*My dad has a tattoo on his right shoulder of the Playboy bunny. As a kid, I used to take a marker & trace a bunny body on it.

*After mom tucked me, my bro & sis into our beds, dad always had a nightly routine: after getting all squeaky clean in the tub, he'd come in our rooms & shake his wet hair on us.

*Our family went on a vacation to Disney World when I was 7. I caught my dad sneaking money INTO the wallets of his wee kidlets.
*When I see cozy, comfy, long-sleeved, plaid, buttoned-up, collared, flannel shirts, I think of my dad.

*I think, when I was a kid, if dad had his way we'd have food fights every night for dinner. Mom kept it real.

*My dad & I took a backpacking trip when I was 17. Just he & I. Great memories. I made my dad a journal/photo-book filled with sketches & diary entries from our trip. It's the most favorite thing I've ever made.

Dad, I really think I'm the luckiest girl in the whole universe.

Everything a good heart in this world should have, you have given me.

I love you!!
