My Dad can be amazingly sweet sometimes.

I have been asking him repeatedly to take me to the beach so I can find another shell for my sleeper earrings. I like to wear these tiny cockel shells in them, looped through the sleepers by a hole drilled by a borer animal that eats out the soft insides of the little bivalve. It leaves these tiny shells just perfect for making jewellry with, and I like to wear them in my earrings.

I've not been able to go as the weather has been absolutely awful.

I was swearing and ranting when Mum and Dad came back cause they went away for about three hours this morning, leaving me to look after Ruby (who is very easy to look after, really).

Dad comes in and says, "Here you are, daughter. I got wet for this." And he pops a little shell with a hole in it in my hand. Quite a pretty one too, with zig-zag patterns on it. The weather really is shitty out there.

It's now in my earring. I think I'll treasure it. :)

Awwwww.

That's so sweet of him! :)

Aw that was nice of him. Why does he have to switch back and forth so quickly, guess it keeps you on your toes.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Yeah. He has that flip-flop Adorable Old German Man/Mean Old Bastard dichotomy that makes life with him all the more interesting.

I wouldn't swap him, really. :) I'd probably get weirded out by cuddles and being called "pumpkin" by now, anyways. LOL!

Too true. How's Solly by the way? Is the little tyke still in hospital?

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

He's in till Thursday or Friday, apparently. And he's doing well. :) Tired, sore, but well.

[originalnilson.livejournal.com]

Does he have appendacitis?

That is sweet.

You can always ask me to take you to the beach, including in mid-winter.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Cool! I do so love our visits to the beach together! I miss you, I haven't seen you in ages! How are you? How's Karen?

[strangedave.livejournal.com]

No, haven't seen you in far too long!
Karen is very busy lately!

Awww, sweet.

My Mum wears little shells in her earrings like that too. :)

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Really? Cool! I like having something of the ocean with me at all times. It's my weird way. LOL!

Very Lucky

You are very lucky to have a Dad who thinks about you like that. We all know that there are some real dead-beat Dads out there and it seems like you got one of the good 'uns.

Well, he has his moments that make me grit my teeth but overall, he is an excellent Dad. Stands up to his responsibilities and looks after his family very well. :) (Got your mail, WILL respond, promise!)
