It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood!

My dad turned 50 yesterday.

When I was a kid, he always came home on his lunch break to watch Mr. Rogers Neighborhood with us. I believe he'd tell you his favorite episode is the one where Mr. Rogers went on a field trip to the crayon factory. His obsession even carried over in to his fashion sense--he wore sweaters, shirts, and shoes just like Mr. Rogers for a very long time.

I thought a quote from good ol' Fred was just perfect for today.

The greatest gift you ever give is your honest self.

-Fred Rogers

My dad excels at honesty. He is a tell-it-how-it-is kind of man.

P.S. Send warm thoughts our way. It is going to be more than 20 below zero tonight with the wind chill where Ang and I live.

I'm not too far south of you, so we're expecting similar temperatures, but I don't mind. I'll send warm thoughts your way. :)

I'll blog about the quote later today, too!
