I wonder if the mystery will ever be solved ;)<BR/><BR/>Karen:<BR/>You are soooooo right!! My dad was really, REALLY strict with us when we were kids. It was school, school, school. Education, education, education. He was hardcore! Now that my brother and his wife have recently had a baby, my dad is soooooooooo laid back and mellow! He does that baby cooing sound when he talks to my nephew and he tries to hog him all the time! He tricked me when we were visiting my bro in K-town. Dad told me to bring in the bags...only for me to find out that he was racing right for the baby so he could hold him! LOL! He also has Kenny's photo on his computer as his wallpaper. Too cute! I know my mom always says that my grandparents really mellowed out and spoiled us when we were kids. My mom says she thinks parents are strict with their own kids, but they change when they become grandparents. They become 'spoilers'!

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, obviously. I love that matching T photo too - so cute! It's wonderful that you have such great memories with your Dad over on the other side of the world, no less. Very special. <BR/>I'm very lucky that my Dad is quite involved with the kids these days. He never changed a diaper in his life until Liam was born! His grandkids bring out a whole other side of him that I never knew existed. He's just chomping at the bit for these two little babies due in July. He's even telling my sister the latest news on pregnancy do's/don'ts and babycare! It's like he's doing all this research on the subject matter. I find it quite adorable, as growing up he was the strong, silent, brooding type (especially around new boyfriends) - but I'd like to think I get my wit from him as he's got a wicked sense of humour when he unleashes it.<BR/>Dads and Granddads are great, aren't they?Karen MEGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10834425321020756655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22578035.post-12426312178634453822007-06-07T14:26:00.000-04:002007-06-07T14:26:00.000-04:00What a very sweet story!

He suffered a stroke a few years ago and doesn't like to interact much since he can't take all the noise of crowds. He does, however, enjoy playing Party Poker! LOL! He's a great guy and has a great sense of humour. He's more of a homebody now though and enjoys spending time in his loft, raising his pigeons.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09251507898309184477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22578035.post-67525573117601798862007-06-07T12:12:00.000-04:002007-06-07T12:12:00.000-04:00Hi ChrissyI love what Doggy Mamma's Dad said about...Hi Chrissy<BR/><BR/>I love what Doggy Mamma's Dad said about you. Ditto!<BR/><BR/>Dad and I are "want a be""pool sharks", and neither of us sings Karaoke. <BR/>Most of our bars where we shoot pool, just happen to have karaoke. I enjoy some of the good singers, but have been known to leave early if it gets too bad.<BR/><BR/>If Dad isn't shooting pool, he's on the dance floor. He's 72 and can dance very well. All the girls love him!LOL<BR/><BR/>Dad loves to flirt, but he's true blue to his girlfriend! I'm proud of him for that! She doesn't like to go out, and she doesn't care if he does! She's a sweet lady!<BR/><BR/>Does you Dad, shoot pool,sing karaoke,or dance when he's at the bars?Uncivilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03165556927641960341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22578035.post-10697407765410178902007-06-07T11:28:00.000-04:002007-06-07T11:28:00.000-04:00Doggy Mama:Awwwwwwwww!

I knew that you, your mom, and your sis read my blog and my comments on your blogs, but I didn't know your dad read (or paid attention) to the comments that your visitors leave on your blog. That is so cute! Your dad sounds like such a lovely person :) You've got such a wonderful family, Jane :) Say hi to "Dustin" for me (Dustin Hoffman...)<BR/><BR/>PS. How's Biz doing?
