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 My Lord, he's hopelessly out of date.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!

* 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!
