As a shout out to the best daddy a little girl could have, today's blog is all about him!
YUP - I'm a typical eye-lash battin, sweet talkin, all-American Daddy's Girl!
For all the reasons I have to be grateful for him, I will only share a few (ok 10) as not to bore you. So, because of my Dad, I:
- love coffee and huckleberry pancakes
- am a huge fan of music
- always want a fire burning
- love popcorn
- love to hike, camp and fish (and I clean my own)
- can survive in the wilderness
- can fix my own car (if I really want to)
- can ride horses
- love a good BBQ
- most importantly, grew to understand and accept God's love for me
I always get choked up on his birthday or on Father's Day as I know that even though it's his day, it's us kids who've received the gift. And then I have to listen to that Brad Paisley song "He Didn't Have to Be". (sheesh, thanks Brad, <insert tears> you could've also provided a box of tissue with every CD sold on that one!)
A few photos of my Dad during my last visit home doing what we enjoy most:
At his home in one of the most beautiful cabin locations in Gibbonsville, Idaho
Fishing at Wallace Lake in Idaho
The strong hands that have loved and taught much
