Day 4

Your Parents

Parents...I have the best! So good I could stop writing now because there is noting left to say. They have been married 50 years,raised 4 kids,worked side by side at our family business everyday and they STILL LOVE EACH OTHER! Crazy! They are the hardest working and unconditionally loving people I know.

My Mother is old fashioned in so many desirable maternal and domestic ways. She cooks my Father 3 meals a day,washes laundry and spends every Sunday morning at church. In the last few years we have made some really great memories out at Sekiu. Walking the beach barefoot and searching for agates and sea glass.

My Father has an outgoing personality that is hard to miss. Much like my Mom,he is also a bit old fashioned. He has always worked hard and been an amazing provider for our family. I know being the father of 3 girls wasn't always easy yet he sympathized with every cramp and mood swing. In return, I joined him hunting,fishing and target practice. Most nights during my "tween" and teen years, he and I would go for ice cream and then go for a drive.We listened to Patsy Cline as we followed the geese up the river.

Now that I am all grown up I still feel safe and small in my Father's arms when I hug him. I still call my Mom for every question concerning cooking or illness and she still has all the answers.
I have been so very blessed.......
My Parents are the best :)

Day 3 (On the morning of day 4)

My First Love

This one was hard for me,I spent last night trying to think of what to say and came up with nothing.
 I thought of Luke Perry,the handsome 90210 hunk I grew up watching. Him and Corey Haim (sp?)..oh my first celebrity crushes..
Then there was the boy next door but he was more like a brother....
Or I guess a fair assumption would be that it was my high school boyfriend turned husband for 10 years...
Nope..that's not it either...
????????
So I tell myself to quit taking this so seriously and get some sleep.
Come to find out that was good advice! ha ha
When I woke up this morning the answer was clear.....
The very first thing I remember loving and have loved non stop for 33 years...
Clam dip.
The secret Chubb family recipe.
Created by my Uncle Mark and my first solid food.
It says so in my baby book.
Yes my first love is food......if you are surprised, this must be your first time reading my blog. lol

Now I know that some of you might be left thinking...didn't she forget someone?!
No I didn't...
My first TRUE love is Vern.
I'm not just saying this because he is my boyfriend and the obvious assumption.
I'm saying this because the love I have felt since I met him is far beyond anything I have felt before.
But you know how I KNOW he's my soul mate......?
He loves clam dip too :)
