The Dates
My favorite dates with my husband were the ones we used to take a long, long time ago. We were newly married and not really on our own yet, living with my parents in a large home in Florida. I was still in college and he had just started a full time retail job. Between the two of us we didn’t have a spare penny. Now at that time my dad used to keep a jar in his room that he threw all of his spare change into. All of us kids knew that it was there and from time to time we would help ourselves to a handful. So, for “date night” my sweet hubby and I would raid my dad’s change cup and splurge on two vanilla ice cream cones at McDonalds on the beach. We would have a sweet treat and sit in our car in the parking lot and watch the sun go down. In those moments, even though we were living at home and life was unchartered, we were all alone, and we enjoyed every moment! Sometimes now, even though we have been married a million years, we will hit good old McDonalds for a sweet treat and reminisce.
