He taught us from a very young age how to get the perfect tan!<br /><br />#2- Much like Amber's Daddy and the napkins, my Dad is the same about toothpicks. Upon leaving a restaurant, he will take two. One to put behind his ear, and the other to stick in his mouth. I have a great photo of my sister and him cleaning out their teeth with a toothpick at a restaurant. Nice.<br /><br />#3- My Dad and I both sing. Not well. Just A LOT! We drive everyone crazy, because most of the time we don't even realize we are doing it.Duchessnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462897505080869297.post-2215625902436609882011-06-17T11:27:25.325-04:002011-06-17T11:27:25.325-04:00Ah Amber...I love these pictures and these memorie...Ah Amber...I love these pictures and these memories. Gonna have to talk to dad about that Castaway summer - you guys pulled a scam on me didn't you ;)<br />I lost my own dad WAY too young (I was only 8) so I had a nice time pulling out memories this morning, which I don't do often enough.<br />#1 - My dad worked up in Los Angeles (one of those aerospace engineer guys) but didn't want his family up there, so he planted a 10 acre avocado grove in San Diego and commuted on weekends. When he came home on Friday nights he would ALWAYS have a smile on his face and a little brown bag full of penny candy in his outstretched hand for me.<br />#2 - Weekends were spend pulling weeds and although everyone else hated it, I never did. PLUS he'd pay us .25 a grocery bag full. He was picky - not too much dirt and it had to be full to the point of almost overflow. I still love to weed.<br />#3 - Organization. Makes me nuts to have things out of place, and it did him too. I know I didn't get that skill from my mom, and I'm thinking it might be skipping a generation ;)Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18411306287771108362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462897505080869297.post-44382072774743165562011-06-17T02:44:40.243-04:002011-06-17T02:44:40.243-04:00Amberbop:

During that time my dad let us live like castmates on Survivor, and it. was. awesome. We ate hotdogs wrapped in tortillas and stayed up 'til dawn. No one did the dishes and we ate off paper towels. Every child should know such bliss.<br /><br />#2 - My dad spent a year of my childhood obsessed with this movie.<br /><br />#3 - We both draw girls! My dad's a full-time fine artist. I was his apprentice growing up - think Mickey Mouse in Fantasia. Artist blood is thicker than paint ;)Amber Alvarezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14000116754897699222noreply@blogger.com
