I'd say we all did pretty good with our dad answers. I admit that I learned some new fun facts about WD because of this quiz. :) Dad, we hope you had a wonderful 60th birthday and we love you very much! Here are a few extra fun little tidbits about Dad that we love:
As an in-law I would have to say I really admire is patience and love for all that is around him. He has been so kind to everyone that comes into the family and I really admire that!
-Angie
One of my favorite memories of dad is working with dad. Whether we were working on the garden or the shed, around the house, inside or outside, we had a good time. Dad would put on his cowboy music and we would clean the house and do yardwork. -Paige
Douglas McMurdie is a swell father-in-law. I hope I can be as nice to my sons-in-law as he is to me (I doubt it though; I've already been seen polishing weaponry when my sisters' dates show up). He is friendly, sociable, mellow, and intelligent. I'm lucky to have him as a father-in-law. -Alex
My favorite DadDoug memory is when he came down to help us rebuild from scratch our front deck that had collapsed from wood rot. He sacraficed tons of time and was an expert on all kinds of building supplies and methods. I saw how selfless he was and it was a good experience that there's no way I could have done by myself. -Christian
I love that Dad always knows the Doctrine of the Gospel and thinks before answering your Gospel questions. We have had some very enlightening conversations and I look forward to more of those. I love you, Dad! -Shareesa
"Dad-Drive-By-s" when Dad is super sneaky and performs stealth acts of service. For example: new windshield wipers that I didn't notice until a storm 1 month later (and Dad didn't say a word about them) and random car-nappings to fill up my gas tank. Dad serves everyone in his life without expectation of being repaid for his love & charity. -Jan
