October 4, 2015 Dad's Birthday

Since today was dad's birthday, and I hadn't been to the cemetery yet, Connie and I went out there.   Dad would have been 90 today.  Wow - I can guarantee you we would have had a huge party to celebrate that but instead we silently celebrate the awesome father he was.    

Connie and I then went shopping and did a little antiquing and even went to a new to me grocery store to get some of that famous dressing my cousin Liz told me about.  It is Old Dutch Sweet and Sour dressing and my Aunt Pauline used it on her cucumbers and tomatoes with onion.  Yum, yum - she was a great cook, as were all my aunts.    We all then went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse.  We had yummy steaks and we love their yeast rolls!

It's always hard to say good-bye to my lil sis; but fortunately she travels a lot and we usually see each other at least once if not more a year.   Here's a pic of her and Zach standing by her pop-up camper.  I'm so proud of her for just doing it and not sitting on the sidelines wishing she could camp.  

Travel day tomorrow!
