My dad is so funny.
He's out here rebuilding MMjr. treehouse, which was destroyed during Katrina. When he pulled up in his truck, I began making biscuits and gravy, and bacon.

My dad LOVES biscuits and gravy. He'd cancel a meeting with the president if he knew that biscuits and gravy were on the menu at my house.

So I hollered at him, and said, "Dad, I'm making biscuits and gravy." He came in, and he picked up my tv remote and said, "is this thing working?" I said yes, and he tried to dial it like a phone. :rofl:

I said, "Dad! That's the remote!" So I handed him the phone, and he called my Mom, and said, "I'm just gonna work through lunch."

He didn't tell her that he was going to pig out on biscuits and gravy at my house. :D

I swear, I love my Dad. :patriot:

2. He's a hoot. 77 years old, still going strong.
Beat cancer. Suffers from terrible arthritis that has fused all the vertebrae in his back...

But he keeps on plugging on. He taught me to enjoy the daily treasures of life.

4. Aww! Your dad sounds awesome. And so do your biscuits and gravy,
although I can't eat a meal like that anymore. It still sounds good though.

6. It took me twenty years of trying to finally master flour gravy.
But I finally got it perfected. Dad knows this, so any time I fix gravy, he's sitting at my table.

8. LOL!
Well, to my Dad's credit, my cordless phone and my Directv remote look A LOT alike. It was still funny watching him dial the "phone" by hitting the channel buttons on the remote, though.

:rofl:
