heureux vendredi, beautés!
about three weeks ago i received a phone call from my Dad...
"hi, honey!"
"are you going to be home?"
"i was getting some printing done at Office Max, and i saw
something that reminded me of you!"
"i would like to drop it by."
i said, "sure Dad, come on over!"
about 20 minutes passed when i heard a knock at our door!
there stood my Dad with a big smile...
...holding la Tour Eiffel in his left hand.
"look!"
"isn't it cool?"
" i figured you might like it for your blog!"
i hugged him and said...
" OMGoodness, Dad!"
"i LOVE it!"
"it's so ARCHITECTURAL - INDUSTRIAL CHIC, just like the tower itself!"
"it will always remind me of the day that we stood at the top of the tower together!"
i found the perfect place(s) to plant my tower!
in the kitchen...
...and on the sidebar!
( i am quite often barefoot (in Paris) in the kitchen and always barefoot (in France) when i blog.)
( i am thinking i may need to paint my toes Le Creuset red this Summer! )
at my age, i am so lucky and grateful to receive a phone call or
a "visite impromptue" from my Dad.
i wish a blessed Sunday to all of our Dads here on Earth
and those Dad's that watch over us from Heaven!
merci, Papa!
withLove!

What a perfectly sweet girl from a perfectly sweet father! Have a wonderful weekend, Lynne!
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet:) I love that he was just thinking about you while doing a little shopping. It's these types of spontaneous events that are the most memorable. You have found the perfect spot for it! Enjoy your weekend. xxleslie
ReplyDeleteLynne this is so touching. What a gift to have your dad to celebrate. This is a darling story and it warmed my heart. He's a thoughtful man! Thanks for sharing!

Aw, what a lovely story and a thoughtful gift!
ReplyDeleteLynne, this brought a tear to my eye because I don't have my dad with me any more, and I think it's so touching that your dad thought that you might like this Eiffel tower for your blog. Another reason why it touched me is because I have one just like it and I was going to give it to Nel or Jess, but now I'm going to keep it and think about your dad every time I look at it. It's a perfect gift, and you are so lucky to still have your dad with you.
