Friday already?
October 5, 2007 | Travels
Well, it’s going to be Saturday in just thirty minutes. I can’t believe we’ve been home since Tuesday night. Bill, I’m so sorry we didn’t call. I slept all day Wednesday and Thursday.
Don’t even speculate.
I finally woke up today, and found out most of everything that has been going on. Only this morning did I think about asking Luis if he called you.
Anyway. We had a wonderful time. Our children are so good to us. However, it will be a long time before we make a long trip again. Dad didn’t do very well this time. He was in agony with his back when he got home. Our age is showing.
We bumped Ryder out of his bed, and that didn’t work out too well. Ryder needs his space. It was hard on Beth. We rolled on to Ben’s house, and bumped Ben and Julie out of their Beds.
Big Ben landed on the small livingroom sofa, and Julie on the small bed with Lily. Not too comfortable. They insisted that we have their huge and extremely comfortable bed. We liked having the kids in the bed with us. Little Ben is the image if his father. Lily is likewise the image of her mother. Wonder what’s coming next? And congrats to Ben, who had installed a new bathroom all by himself.
Dad made a big pot of his special chili recipe at Beth’s house, and then brewed it up nice and spicy at Ben’s house. It was only fair. Yum! It’s fabulous. Beth and Julie appreciated it, as did Nancy, when he whomped it up on Sunday afternoon at Bill’s house. I ddin’t know it, but he had stocked up the car with all of the ingredients he needed, except the ground beef.
Of course, the highlight of the time at Bill’s house was the two ballgames on Friday and Saturday night between the Astros and the Braves. I think I like watching games in the comfort of my house. Dad is in there this very minute watching a game between the Los Angeles Angels and the Boston Red Sox. I went to check, and he’s sitting there in his chair, hand on remote, sound asleep. I had better go put him to bed.
Thanks to all of you for giving us a wonderful time. We love you so deeply and dearly. MOM
