Happy Birthday Dad!

Happy Birthday to my Dad!... all the way from Branson. We hope you have a great today. I would post a picture but I don't have any of you on my laptop here. Here are some interesting things about my dad.

Ever since my brother won 4 lambs at the 4H fair, my dad has been a shepherd of a flock...every single year since, what do you think... since the early 80's?

My dad is retired but only because that is part of his age description. : ) He drives a school bus, takes care of his sheep, is restoring an old wooden wagon, cuts all their wood for their wood burning stove...and much more.

He has something that Quinn covets... "Grandpa has one and it's what I've wanted most in my whole life"... the pack of gum that shocks you when attempting to take out a stick!

Loves John Deere tractors, antique tractors and cars. He even drives his antique John Deere tractor in a local parade each year... just because it's fun.

Has been an active member of the local Optimist Club F.O.R.E.V.E.R.!

Likes to tell jokes... and likes to laugh at the jokes that he tells. : )

One of favorite memories of my dad is how he tucked me in bed when I was a kid. He would always pick up my feet and tuck the covers in snug around them and say "Good-night, don't let the bed bugs bite." That was our good-night typical saying in our house forever.

I love you Dad! Happy Birthday!
