Happy...
Today is the 67th anniversary of my dad's birth. If I know him at all, some portion of this day will be spent in the following ways:
1. Reading his Bible and drinking a cup of coffee [This is breakfast, and has occurred daily since I was a little kid.]
2. Mowing his lawn. "Fastidious" doesn't begin to describe his approach to lawn care. [Yay for riding mowers!]
3. Working in his garden, which probably holds enough produce to feed half the town...and probably WILL.
4. Reading a book, likely something by Zane Grey or his beloved Red Sox.
5. Pulling random pranks on the unsuspecting. Such pranks include sticking his teeth out at little kids in public, calling his co-workers his 'girlfriends'...and placing bottles of alcohol into the shopping carts of random pastors. [You should hear about the time he hard-wired a bra to the front of a bread truck...]
6. Eating cake with my bonus family, all of whom are excellent bakers. [This includes my bonus brother, S.]
7. Talking on the phone to his girls...if he's home long enough.
8. Playing around on The Facebook.
9. Watching the Red Sox on tv - game or bonus footage. He will fall asleep in his recliner and wake up covered in cats.
10. Have an awesome day.
Happy Birthday, Dad! Wish I could be there with you!

Yup... sounds about right to me! The best Dad a girl could wish, hope or pray for!!!
He and I have at least one thing in common; I also wake up in my recliner covered in cats!
He sounds like a wonderful man, with a good sense of humor. I hope he has a terrific birthday!

I hope he had a great day. He sounds a bit like my dad. Especially the pranks and lawncare.
