i knew my mom read my blog, and i knew that sometimes my grandma did too, but it was only recently that i discovered my dad was a reader. i found out because he actually sends me comments. not through blogger, he just emails me directly his thoughts on some things. so you might remember a while back how i posted a gift idea for my mom...something i hoped she would get me from french general...well, to be fair, i thought i would put another item on my list up here for my dad. he has always been a very generous santa, so i thought this was the perfect idea for him. homedonald, if you're out there and you want more information... click on the pot. :)
