My dad
What's your dad's first name? William. He was Will to his family in Pennsylvania but for some reason, people automatically called him Bill here in Connecticut.
What color are/were his eyes? The most beautiful light blue eyes you'd ever seen.
Was your dad strict or did he leave that wonderful task to your mom? My mom was definitely the disciplinarian but since she died when I was very young, I grew up my dad's gentle nature.
What are/were his father baseball and football teams? One day, when I'm all grown up, I'm going to learn to actually detect errors when proofreading. As of right now, I happliy read right through without picking up on even a hint of an error. Ok, so that would be favorite baseball/football teams.
As I was saying below, my dad is from Pittsburgh so he was always a fan of the Pirates and the Steelers. He was also a big Yankee fan.
What's your dad's best quality? Just feeling loved by him and knowing that his kids were the most important thing in the world to him. When my mom died, since there were eight of us, my relatives wanted to take some of us and the state got involved but my dad fought hard to keep us all together.
Finally, whatcha all doin' for the weekend? I went to my niece's bridal shower yesterday. The thing was at her mother-in-law-to-be's house which is way out in the boonies. They have a donkey and a bunch of goats. The goats are a hoot. They're just like dogs the way they follow you around. We went upstairs in the barn so we could see the bats. The goats just followed us walking up the stairs. It was so funny. I was so freaked at the thought of seeing a bat. I lucked out though. We couldn't find any.
Later, I was holding my 8 year old niece while she was sitting on the donkey, walking very slowly when the donkey suddenly bolted. I snatched my niece so fast that I told her she was now indebted to me for life. I just wish she took me seriously on that.
I was totally lost on the way home but did manage to make it in time to meet a good friend for dinner. Today is just my usual boring day at work.
BTW -
I'm surprised to see so many dad's with blue eyes. Can our unscientific questionaire show that more blue eyed than brown/green/hazel eyed men have children? I might be onto something here. Then again, I might not.
