Title: I just had to share one of my Fathers Day gifts with you.
Post by: Seamus on June 17, 2007, 07:45:22 PM
From my youngest, she'll be 18 this week.

18 Holes
When we arrived we decided to stroll, we didn't want to arrive to quickly to each hole.
Hole 1 was a lovely par 4, I was crawling and walking and wanting more.
The 2nd hole looked a bit tough, but using my words made it less rough.
We'll take a break on hole 3...Daddy wow! I'm a big girl now.
The nap on hole 4 was quite alright, I didn't forget "I love you good night".
I awoke on hole number 5 only to find 13 more years to strive.
On number 6 the knowledge I gained, is we're ok, but you're insane.
On hole 7 you rested with eyes closed, as I read you quietly dozed.
One hole number 8 we moved around, and on a different green the ball was found.
We laughed and played on hole number 9, playing and jumping and no constraints of time.
On 10 my smile was just a little smaller, on this hole I had a mouth full of metal and I grew a bit taller.
Hole 11 I just had to strike a pose, as my inner model slightly arose.
On hole number 12 we had to move slow, the country was frightened by a terror show.
Hole 13 I was hard to control, this wild child wasn't easily patrolled.
14 and everything is Ivory, vacation and trips and paying the toll.
On hole 15 I birdied with that first report card and I was freed.
On hole 16 I sped just a bit, with these keys I'd never quit.
The smile was big by hole 17, the rated "R" movies could be seen.
Hole 18 at one time seemed far, but it's looking as if I might make par.

Remember the thread this past week about the little things, the little gifts.  I hope each of you had a "little gift", they are the best.  :)

Nice Seamie.

I kinda had two of those today.  First and foremost, my daughter turned eight today.  We tried very hard to make it all about her.  No worries though.  She didn't mind sharing.  Just kissed me good night and said, "Happy Fathers' Day Daddy.  I hope it was as nice as my birthday."  That rocked.

Also, my wife finally got around to making me a shadowbox to showcase my ace of a couple of years ago.  Luckily the hole itself was featured in the UGA calendar and so she had a professional, full color photo to use.  She's a hard-core scrapbooker and it turned out aces.

Cried like a baby. The oldest gave me a notebook that was made out of recycled elephant dung (you outta see the dog checking it out...LOL), so they made me laugh and cry yesterday.

Karma to all!

Dude, I think we live in parallel universes.  My son gave me a Spanish card.  Neither of us speak Spanish. 

Why do our kids hate Los Estados Unidos?

Very nice Uisce, a child born on Fathers Day, how cool is that.  I have one of these (a hard-core scrapbooker) at home also, does yours go to 3 day conventions?

No need.  This is Utah.  We have organized scrapbooking 365 days a year.  She basically just picks a day, leaves at noon and comes back after midnight.  I golf; she scraps.  Key to a happy marriage.   ;)

She does hit one of the biggies that seems to come by a couple of times per year.  Usually just puts in one, extremely long day though.

1. Cut a hole in a box.
2. Put your junk in the box.
3. Make him open that box.
