It's a day for my dad tomorrow. I've been trying to brainstorm the good advice my dad has given me over the years. I also dreamed up of some of the things he would probably never say to me or my sisters..
- Hey girls! Why don't you take the new car and do some shopping today. Take my credit card and spend as much as you want!
- Why don't you guys take the remote for the night? I'm tired of watching sports.
- You're turning 13? I think it's about time you go on unchaperoned dates.
- Oh, you failed English? That's ok, they talk different that we do anyways.
- Well how about that! We're lost! I think we should stop for directions.
- Why do you want to go get a job? I make plenty of money for you to spend!
Nope, can't see that happening anytime soon.. bummer.
Well, he's still my favorite man. Speaking of favorites, I whipped a little somthin' somthin' (his favorite!) up for my dear father while he was out fishing today. It's a secret... don't tell !
Raisins.. oooh ya.
Don't mix it together..! I was close to it but stopped my hand just in time.
It'll look like this before the oven does its duty.
Post-oven wonderfulness.
My mom has seriously tried countless recipes over the years just to get it "just the way his mom made it". Sheesh. If that isn't love in a marriage, I don't know what is.
Love ya dad!
