I was Daddy's little tomboy, he taught me to shoot a gun, ride a horse, ride a 3 wheeler and how to get a 4 wheel pickup
from being stuck in the mud, I guess you could say I was Daddy's little "redneck" girl..I love you and miss you.

My Dad. You could always tell if he was in a good mood. He would have a slew of silly jokes available.... One I remember was..A peice of string goes into a bar..bartender sez "Hey..we don't serve your kind here." The string goes ouside and finds a rock and batters each of its ends and ties itself into a bow...goes back into the bar... Bartender sez "Hey! Aren't you that peice of string that was in here earlier?" String sez "fraid not..."...(Fraid Knot) ...told ya they were silly.
