Ever notice I’m usually the first one on Twitter? Thanks to my dad and the fisherman mentality, I’m usually up with the birds. Dad retired a couple of years ago and spends his time doing what retired guys should be doing – things they love. Fishing, gardening, lunch with friends, traveling with your best friend and partner of 50 years, spending time with grandchildren…
…driving kids to soccer, driving his daughter (me) and her kid and all her friends to out of state volleyball tournaments, packing and shipping pre-wrap, learning php and shopping cart technology, starting a blog, volunteering at the library, local senior center…oh wait, do most of your dads do all that?
He’s a pretty amazing guy and I am lucky to have him nearby. Yeah, he drives us all a bit crazy at times but we’ll keep him anyway.
I love U. You are amazing, too. I can’t keep up with you.
Sounds like my dad – non stop ball of action and loving every minute of the life God gave him. I hope I have half the energy when I’m a grandma – well I wish I had half that energy now! lol!
Great tribute!
