Happy Father's Day: A Shout Out to Big Blake


Blake Shaffer is my Daddy. He's a handful, that's for sure, but there is never a dull moment. He is a true original. If you know him, you love him.



Dad and my main squeeze here...trouble is all that is.

Dad's Top 10:

1. Laying on the couch with Iris
2. Having his back scratched
3. Grilling and eating steaks 7 days a week
4. Drinking a ice cold Bud Heavy
5. Cruising in his yellow 1970s rusty Chevy or the Blue Bug
6. Asking me how my car is doing
7. Trying to wear his oldest raggedy clothes in public. Mom hides them.
8. Telling a good joke
9. Flirting with Mom
10. Reading nonfiction (loves trivia books) and watching the History Channel/old westerns

Dad is hilarious, a big softy, tough when he has to be, in touch with his sensitive side (not scared to shed a tear), a smooth talker, and all about family. Family comes first, and he considers his friends to be family as well. It's been said we act alike sometimes...I don't buy the hype.



Dad and his high school sweetheart, aka MOM.

Happy Father's Day Dad! Hope it's a good one and that you are firing up the grill!

Love,

Lacey
