Happy Father's day to the men who have stepped up to the task, positively influenced me and my children and grandchildren. My husband, Bill, has been the most influential in all of our lives.
I was thinking back to my childhood when I had what they call a dancing doll, a 3 foot rag doll that had ealstic straps which wrapped around my shoes so the doll could be my dance partner. It reminded me of all the daddies out there who allow their little girls to dance on the tops of their shoes. I was one of those little girls. My dad was a playful father. I cannot look at a man in suspenders without thinking of my step dad. Both my dad and stepdad are deceased, but their memory lingers.

That's nice you you have sweet memories, Linda. Have a blessed day. Susan
Hi Linda! I remember dancing on top of my daddy's shoes. He was a good dancer and when I got older I looked forward to dancing with him at wedding receptions and things like that, because he made me feel grown up and graceful. The last time I danced with him was at my wedding, and the band was playing "Daddy's Little Girl". Miss him so.
Hope you're having a wonderful Father's Day weekend!

Nice memories. Hope you and Bill have a great day!
Awww, sweet. I remember those dolls, although I didn't have one. I'm sure I danced a time or two on my dad's shoes....he was around until I was about 10 years old. At least I had him that long...
