My daddy is the person of the day. I am a bit nervous to have used up two of my family so far, this early in the three months home, but I just didn't take anyone else that day. Tonight, Dad and I met Paul, Jessica and Landon for ice cream in Dayton. Mom skipped the trip, inciting that she didn't need any ice cream, and I just went for the ride since I had a bowl at home before we had the call from my brother about their plan.
It was still rather warm, as it had been all day. Landon really enjoyed his strawberry vanilla soft serve swirl in the cup, which after dripping down his chin ironically looked exactly like the calamine lotion behind his ears to treat the itchy black fly bites. I can't get over how big and independent he is. He is quite something. Had to include one extra picture of that!!
So, I picked Dad today. I love my dad and am happy to include him in my blog of my most favourite people. He is one of the hardest working people I know, does nothing half hearted, is incredibly generous much to the detriment of his own comfort, appreciates commitment and integrity in those around him. He is well liked by practically everyone that knows him because of his dependability and willingness to help out. I can always count on him for anything and everything, whether it is advice about work, finances, or life, or whether it is a practical need like a ride to the airport in Halifax. I have to say those are some of my most favourite times spent with my dad, when we've been driving somewhere. It pretty much always was to bring me somewhere, whether back or forth to Ottawa multiple times during my university years, or driving me or my boxes to Montreal or Halifax related to my work in the north. I love driving places with dad since we have so much time to sit and chat. My dad taught me early on the importance of being optimistic at ALL times, even in the worst situations. The big family joke is how we argue but I think deep down it is more fun than anything else, because we both have a keen mind and ability to see both sides of any argument. And if he doesn't agree with that, oh well, I know I am right! Hope you enjoy the picture!
