Mr. Paul is Erik's Dad or, my other father, as he likes to call himself.  One of the very first times I met him, he just got back from the grocery store where he purchased a dozen  yellow roses and passed out ten to his favorite grocery store employees.  He saved the last two for Mrs. Brenda and I.   It didn't take long for me to realize that's just who he is.  That day he showed his love through flowers.  Most days, it's through food.    And he can really cook.  Really, the man can cook.  Also, he has a great sense of humor and on occasion let's me pick on him when he's done picking on me.  I love that he can dish it out and also take it - I really lucked out in the father in law department.  One day when we are out on his pontoon boat I'll be sure to tell him..
