Yesterday was a little tough.
Thought about my dad a lot.
Not sure why.  He was just on my mind.
Then we went to a restaurant in Santa Paula that he had first taken us to.  Southern kinda of food there.  The friend green tomatoes are so yum!

Reminded me,
Not too long ago I was out in Pop’s workshop.. He asked me to sit down for a bit.  I did and he proceeded to tell me that you need to keep DATING your spouse and to not let that die out.  I thought it was funny because he and Mom weren’t regular in “dating” anymore.  Probably mostly because Pop couldn’t physically go much anymore.  He was already falling a lot by this time when we were talking.  A few days/weeks after we chatted, Mom and him went on a long drive up the coast and got a sandwich.  He didn’t last real long because he got tired out.  I bet he wished he could have gone longer and enjoyed it more.  I just know he wanted to! I did tell Pop that one thing Brian and I talked about while we dated was that we would do a weekly date night and to this day 16 + years later we really do TRY to have some sort of a date night weekly!
