An Assignment From My Father

Dad alway hears Karen and I talking about our blogs. He said he wants us to blog about how our life would've been without him as a father. Here it goes.
1. I would not be me. My father played an important part in the whole conception thing. Therefore, my eyes might have been blue, my ear without a lump and my nose not so unique.
2. My sense of humor would not exist.
3. No trips to Chincoteague would have happened. Not every child got to go to the beach every year growing up.
4. Shit on the shingles. Need I say more?
5. Who else had a "raviolli factory" come to life in their kitchen every once and awhile?
6. Add the jungle in there, too!
7. Not learning to use tools at the basement work bench on Lakeview Dr.
8. Not seeing how proud he was to see me graduate.
9. No awesome mashed potatoes at holidays.
10. No "A thing of beauty is a joy for ever."
11. No brownies WITH nuts. "It really is the only way they should be made".
12. No Wee Willy or Wobble Yack.
13. No flipping back rides on the bed that made us all laugh histerically.
14. No one to look like the devil and scare the shit out of us when we did something wrong. Maybe that's why I didn't get into too much trouble?
15. No Dallas, Dinesty or PM news.
16. No interesting family gatherings on Sunday afternoons.
17. No one to tell me to that moving back home was just a "stepping stone"'
Okay, this list could go on and on. I would not be who I am without my Dad. The world wouldn't be the same and God knows he is here for a reason. Love you Dad!

Rosa's Morning Bathroom Humor

Cora and I were standing in front of the bathroom mirror this morning brushing her hair. Rosalyn comes walking in singing a song. Cora asked, "What are you singing?" "Nothing" was Rosalyn's reply. "I heard words. What did you say?", asked Cora. Again, Rosalyn said, "Nothing."
Rosalyn then said, "You want to hear this song? It's called 'Nothing' too." She then proceeded to dance around in complete silence. "Did you hear it?", she asked us. "No", we both replied. "That's because it's called Nothing!"
Maybe you had to be there, but it sure made me laugh. We all started the day with a laugh. It was great!
