Thursday Thirteen #17 - Happy Birthday, Papa!

Random things about my father. This is sad, Thursday thirteen will be no more. This is it. The End.

1. On Friday, my father is going to be 60 years old.

2. Happy birthday, Papa!

3. My birthday is 3 days after his. So, happy birthday to me on Monday!

4. Papa was 26 when I was born. Here he is with my mother.

5. He's the youngest of 12 siblings, I think. I haven't really met all of my aunts and Uncle on his side of the family.

6. I'm glad to have a father, he was always fair to me when I was a child.

7. Thank you, Papa for the talk about sting rays and men.

8. My husband made me promise not to tell the stingray and men conversation with our only daughter.

9. I am his eldest daughter. I guess that would make me his favorite. :P

10. Thank you for all the Toblerones, Papa. It's still my favorite chocolate.

12. Thank you for the Barbie dolls, long before it's "cool" to have a Barbie anything.

13. Thank you for being fair when it comes to punishment. I still can't figure out why I have to choose between 1, 3 and 5. Of course, I'll always choose 1 if I really have to choose.

Hey again! I just tried your blog again and it again locked up my computer for almost a minute. I have DSL extreme (I'm faster than a T1) so I don't know why it is working on some computers and not others, but I think maybe you should lessen some of your pictures or compress them all. there is a website that you can plug your url into and it will compress all your pictures to make it run faster. I can't remember the website but you can probably google it. At least that way everyone can read about you :)
