I&#39;ll pass along the birthday wishes and the lunch bag praise to my Dad.<br /><br />Megan - xo.<br /><br />Suzi - I love it when you comment here! It means so much to me that you&#39;re reading. &quot;Lucky life.&quot; How right you are. Can I please come and spend a day in your kitchen? Clementine marmalade sounds amazing. (No, I haven&#39;t a clue where to find clementines from Corsica!)<br /><br />Shauna - Thank you. Oh, Graeter&#39;s. I could go for a scoop right now.<br /><br />Oliag - Hello, and welcome! I&#39;m glad you found me. Thanks for your kind words. Here at Sweet Amandine, I&#39;ve mentioned two of my favorite Cambridge spots: <a href="http://www.sweetamandine.com/2009/01/main-event.html" rel="nofollow">Hi-Rise Bakery,</a> and <a href="http://www.sweetamandine.com/2009/05/midnight-oil.html" rel="nofollow">Oleana.</a> Feel free to shoot me an e-mail, and I&#39;ll send you some additional recommendations.<br /><br />Kelsey B. - Happy birthday to you, too!<br /><br />Marilyn - You&#39;re adorable, and so sweet. (It feels great to be writing again.)<br /><br />LyB - Yes, my dad and I are really lucky. And I love that self portrait too! <br /><br />Lo - Feel free to smush your heart out! It is, after all, much, <i>much</i> better than love.<br /><br />Chef Gwen - Yes, he&#39;s a good one, my dad.

Well, at least your Dad sounds like the kind of Dad all little girls should have. I&#39;ve got a special one, too, although he&#39;s not quite as comedic as yours. What a lovely story, and the paper sacks?

What a wonderful thing to have such a loving relationship with your dad.
