...and many moooooore. (sorry this is a couple days late)

I hope you had a good birthday, it looks as though you did.

Another birthday, today, would be my dad's. I know he is somwhere, watching the television, with his feet kicked up, enjoying a good coffee. He would have had his favorite meal and it would have had lots of hot sauce on it. We would have had a party for him, and not really know what to get him - because he had everything. Ellerie and Gavin would have drawn him a picture or created something with glue. My sister and I would have gone in together on something - maybe dinner, maybe a tool (because Lord knows the man needed another one).

It would have been good times. But I am sure he is somewhere, having good times. With his brother, mom and dad. With past friends, bullshitting, playing jokes on one another. But, anyways, happy birthday.

When I think of your Dad, I think of us watching TV in your little family room while he sat and watched from the kitchen table.

Happy Birthday Denny, wherever you are :)

i like the oil changing story...i wish you would blog about it...or designing women...think how many laughs we get about that. i can't even say the name Charlene without a chuckle.

i love that you and your father share the same idea of a good time/birthday...minus the hot sauce. I can just hear you now, "OHHH GIRL! MY LIPS ARE BURNING OFF...WHERE'S MY BURT'S BEES???"
