Happy Birthday Dad!!!

(My Dad wearing his ranch hat)

Every year when I wish my Dad a happy birthday he always tells me he stopped having birthdays a long time ago. In spite of this we celebrate anyway. In honor of my dad (and because I have not blogged in a LONG time) I thought I would list ten things I love about my Dad....

1. He is the smartest person I know

2. I don't now of anyone else that has more integrity than he does

3. His bark is definitely worse than his bite

4. He always gives people the benefit of the doubt

5. He is the hardest working person I know

6. He always thinking of how he can make his family's lives better

7. I love when he starts singing "When I was a lad in a fishing town an old man said to me..." (The Mermaid Song by Bobby Bare, check it out and picture my dad singing it!)

8. I love when he says "If it weren't for this glass eye of mine I'd shed a happy tear!"

9. I love how in my nanny days when I would get really homesick I would call my Dad and he would cheer me up.

10. I love his sense of humor

My dad is my hero, Happy Birthday Dad! I love you!
