My dad is pretty much the best dad ever!
Not only is he one of the funniest guys I know,
he's a pretty uh-mazing dad, too!

He LOVES...
making friends with strangers,
embellishing stories,
to laugh
{so hard you'd think his pants would never dry},
complimenting the chef
{especially when he completes the manly art of b.b.q.},
calling to "just check in"
{while on his way home},
to remind everyone about how the clock and his body clock don't match
{at daylight savings},
repeating his jokes,
taking pix of food
{and sending them to family members who aren't present},
and
when non-family members call to say,
"Oh, my gosh! We just passed Kanosh!"


Most importantly
he LOVES
his family!
{and we LOVE him.}

Heart ya, Padre!

Dancing Dads

Last weekend I went to a WNBA Mercury game

And as my dear, old dad would say,
"I laughed so hard, I thought my pants would never dry."

There's something about middle-aged men dancing hip-hop
that just makes me LOL!

Happy Father's Day, Dad!
Love ya!
