HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my Dad today!! He’s turning the big 6-0. To look at him, you’d think that he is MAYBE 50. Hopefully, I have inherited this eternal youth gene!!! I know I have inherited his off-beat sense of humor, as well as his intellect 
, his eyes and his love for peanut butter and ice cream (not necessarily at the same time, however that’s a pretty good mixture!).
I am an only child so when my Dad wasn’t busy, he would often have to entertain me. One of my favorite memories is when we were wrestling and my earring accidentally punctured him in the nose. Without knowing it, we stumbled upon a major new trend! One other fun memory is when he let me “roll” his hair. We had those big pink curlers that you slept in and I somehow would get a little bit of my Dad’s hair to stay in those curlers. He was so cute!
One not so great memory is when, at my birthday parties, my friends wanted to hang out with my Dad instead of me. I threatened to not allow him at my parties if he was going to “steal” my friends. HA!!
My Dad is one of the most intelligent, dependable and trustworthy people I know. He is very ethical and is a solid Christian man. He loves to dabble in computers and technology so when I have a question or issue, he’s the first one I call. He also has developed a real interest in Nascar in the past few years. I have also discovered that I, too, find it very interesting and entertaining. Maybe one day we’ll go to our first race together.
Have a great birthday, Dad and here’s hoping for 60 more!! We love you BIG MUCH!
Lo and fam
