It's Father's Day! I mentioned earlier that I was lucky to have a wonderful dad. One of my fondest memories involves my daddy and Icees. We would take off to the 7-Eleven and Daddy would get a Coke Icee and I would get a cherry one.

It was a real treat and I think we were both happy to have them. Sometimes we'd get brain freeze from slurping them so fast! I kind of associate car washes with these memories, but I can't remember if we went to a car wash or if Daddy washed the car at home. These little memories (what I can remember of them) are so important to me.

My Dennis is also a wonderful Daddy to our daughter, Lauren. I can still picture them side by side on the couch pouring over architecturial, costume, furniture or history books together. (I can probably picture it so easily, because when we're together they still do it!)

They both have amazing memories, but it can be a little irritating to watch period movies with them. Dennis will say something like: "That coach is all wrong, it didn't come out until 10 years later" or "They certainly didn't have wire hangers then" or "That music wasn't written until five years after this happened." You get the picture. But I'm nuts about him anyway!
Happy weekend everyone!
Very cute Lori and what a sweet memory you have with your dad.
