Oh Happy Day, Papi!

This is my dad. Juan Orquiz. He is a good man, and I love him.
He makes me laugh.

On Father's Day this year we (me and the boys) got together at Dad's. We made him dinner. I made salad and brought drinks. JP made delicious pasta. And Lorenzo made yummy brownies with ice cream. Dad made fabulous enchiladas and his usual pot of beans (hafta have the beans).

Mostly we enjoyed being with each other.

Dad planted a garden in my backyard. At least someone should take advantage of all that space. I decided he needed a new water hose, tomato plant supports, and a real gardener hat for his garden. I think it looked good. I think he liked the hat, don't you? Ha!

I love my dad because he calls me every Tuesday just to say hi. I love my dad because he makes better donuts than Krispy Creme herself. I love my dad because he tries to do the right thing. I love my dad because he has a fantastic sense of humor. I love my dad because he loves the DI and swap meets just as much as I do. I love my dad because he keeps a hammer and drill in his trunk in case I need him to build a stand for my air conditioner. I love my dad because he keeps a machete in his trunk to whack the weeds in my front yard. Haha! I love my dad because we have the same nose. I love my dad because he comes to important events in my life. I love my dad because he never left.

My dad rocks.
