I:______love this blog and understand the desire for friendship and cappuccino although my true craving would be an extra hot chai latte, i will always take a cappuccino. I hear the dogs and kids and bed time and mommy duties, and in the middle of it all God is in control. But I would trade the Land Rover for a Toyota Sienna...the practical side of me.

Wow! I don't think you repeat an "I _________ " during that whole list. That is impressive.

If I could add one? I am the luckiest father in the world because I have three beautiful daughters, two wonderful grand babies, a fantastic son-in-law.

When exploring other people's blogs I will sometimes come across fun lists like this. It will be interesting to look back on what I have said, years from now. Who knows, maybe I'll already have had that Land Rover!

Dad, you are so sweet ... thank you! I am so blessed to have a great father like you.
