    Happy Father's Day!



    Happy Father's Day to my Dad and all dads out there!



    Here's a couple things I found online dedicated to Dads:

    My Father

    When I was:

    Four years old: My daddy can do anything.
    Five years old: My daddy knows a whole lot.
    Six years old: My dad is smarter than your dad.
    Eight years old: My dad doesn't know exactly everything.
    Ten years old: In the olden days, when my dad grew up, things were sure different.
    Twelve years old: Oh, well, naturally, Dad doesn't know anything about that. He is too old to remember his childhood.
    Fourteen years old: Don't pay any attention to my dad. He is so old-fashioned.
    Twenty-one years old: Him? My Lord, he's hopelessly out of date.
    Twenty-five years old: Dad knows about it, but then he should, because he has been around so long.
    Thirty years old: Maybe we should ask Dad what he thinks. After all, he's had a lot of experience.
    Thirty-five years old: I'm not doing a single thing until I talk to Dad.
    Forty years old: I wonder how Dad would have handled it. He was so wise.
    Fifty years old: I'd give anything if Dad were here now so I could talk this over with him. Too bad I didn't appreciate how smart he was. I could have learned a lot from him.

    Dad's Favorite Sayings!


    * Go ask your mother!
    * Just wait until I get you home!
    * I love you, son!
    * I love you, princess!
    * When I was your age....
    * My father used to tell me...
    * I used to walk to school in the snow!
    * Be home early.
    * That's not a tear, I have something in my eye.


    My folks visited Fort Collins this last week so I was able to give my Dad his Father's Day gifts in person.

    He first got a snazzy new tie:



    Then a jumbo-sized new coffee mug:



    What?

    It's traditional. :-)

    I'll have to post details about my parents' visit another time. I guess I'm not paid to update my blog. ;-)

    Thanks for reading! Hope you and yours have a great Father's Day!
