Happy Father's Day

I have been thinking a lot about my Dad.  And it always brings a smile.  I imagine that everyone has their favorite story and it is always fun to share and laugh.  I think of his interest in sports - baseball (his beloved Giants), the Washington Redskins, the Seattle Rainiers and anything Navy.  And how he could quote stats and always had a sports quiz at dinner.  "Who played third base for the 1948 Giants?"  Who knew?  
His great outfits to wear when he did yard work.  The famous gold lame shorts.
His unending love for Snickers, Peanut M&M's - and when he went to the grocery store he could be counted on the bring home Ring Dings, Ho Ho's, donuts and Twinkies.  He single handily destroyed our dietary habits for ever. 

His ability to take a nap sitting up - and making everyone around him think he was dead - except us, who were used to him.  Dad was Dad - and he is missed.

So today, Celebrate all the Dads (be they Uncles or adopted Dads) in your life.

Love, Leslie
