I think this is a first for me. <BR/><BR/>Thank you all so much for your very kind words. My dad was so much fun to be with and we had a great day in celebration of his life.<BR/><BR/>In keeping with the zany hare-brained scheme tradition, I dyed all the girls' hair red with Kool-Aid last night on a total whim, and MuNKi got into the spirit of things and brought me some mousse to dye my own hair a less shocking shade of red. ^_^ Tomorrow is Holy Wednesday, so maybe I will FINALLY get around to posting those pics. ^_^<BR/><BR/>Thank you all, so much. You never fail to make life even more interesting, and I love you all for that. :)Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10869574150060699562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8664692.post-49622865266989991992007-03-20T20:01:00.000-04:002007-03-20T20:01:00.000-04:00Su Papa es me Papa!
