I have my Christmas music playing and my cider lane B&B candle burning.

 It's gonna be a good day!  Kids are at school and my sweet Charlie is sleeping.  I need to get my house cleaned again cause I'm still seeing some left over glitter sprinkled here and there from yesterdays craft day. :)  Wanted to come here first so I wouldn't forget a thought I had...I had an idea to include within each of my posts a memory of my dad..."A Memory A Day" is what I will call it. I am not a journal keeping person cause it's just so hard to remember to write in it everyday so I thought since I started blogging I would just add it in here. :)  So here is my 1st one....

A Memory A Day
Since it is almost Thanksgiving I was thinking the other day about our family's trip to the Amish country.  We went the day after Thanksgiving last year and are going again this year...kinda like a memorial to my dad I guess.  We all drove up in my dad's truck and stayed the night at a hotel up there.  We had so much fun!  We shopped, watched a live nativity on the main street, and ordered pizza that we ate in our hotel room. Fun, fun times!  I would do anything to go back to that day cause my dad was still with us.  The thing that I was really thinking about though wasn't the trip itself, it was my dad and how when we were shopping in the flea markets he waited up for me.  I was looking at something and when everyone else was no where to be found there was my dad waiting on me.  He was so patient and never was rushed.  I don't remember him ever telling me he loved me but I sure did feel it by his actions!  He was the greatest and I miss him terribly...I miss him for myself, for my mom, for my brother and sister, for my kids, their kids, his mom and dad, and his sisters.  I just miss him!!!!  I miss his infectious laugh...the laugh he laughed when he thought something was really funny! I miss his smile!  His voice...I can still hear it now.  I hope I never forget!  I know I will see him again and that day will be wonderful.  I love you dad!
