My First Valentine, My daddy!

Wow! What a treat! My dad called me and we talked for 3 hours! We haven't talked that long on the phone in a while.

Let me tell you about my Daddy, He turned 80 back in October and hes an amazing guy. You honestly wouldn't think hes a day over 60 really. Hes always been really young for his age. When he was 33 and my mom was 18 they got married. My mom thought that he was very close to her age.

Here is a photo of him when he was in his early 20s and he had a Boa Constrictor named "Connie" He would feed her Hot dogs! She got so huge that he finally had to give her to a zoo! This was in Midland Texas back in the 50s (George Bush lived there then and lots of other Oil Tycoons.)

My dad is the coolest man in the world. He was my first Valentine and will always be my Favorite Valentine! My hubby is 2ND, sorry, but Daddy set the bar really high.

He is the strongest man I know, and the funniest. And the most protective. He can be really reallymean, but not to his family. He survived the front lines of Korea and was awarded medals.

Hes a good shot both with a shotgun and a pistol (and a rifle) he taught me to shoot when I was only 9. (You should see me with my 357 nicknamed the "Dixie Special" at the shooting range, thanks to his training. I prefer pistols, rifles kick too hard.)

He has these steel blue eyes that are both beautiful and scary. Hes te best Jeweler in the world and has won so many trophies and awards for his original designs. Hes got more talent in his pinkie than most people have in their entire bodies.

He makes me and others laugh. Hes amazing.
I love my Dadsy!
Thanks for calling me Dadsy! I'm going to call him on Sunday and talk another 3 hours again. Hes lived an amazing life and done some amazing things and I never get tired of hearing his stories.
Love you Dadsy!!!
