She and her husband and the two kids still at home flew in last Sunday, went home today. Being from the Green Bay area it was a good break for them since our weather was in the 70's almost every day. Last evening, she met up with some of her old gal friends for late afternoon food and gab fest. Later they brought her back to the house and like old times.....they were all on transmit, none on receive.
When they got here, they all ran up to me, gave me a big hug and called me "dad" just like 30+ years ago. Kind of a good feeling actually, a bunch of women....all mothers and some professionals in their chosen vocation, in their late 40's and acting like it was only last week the entire bunch had a sleepover. Oh brother.....I'll NEVER forget those, and I pitied the poor guys they were dating at the time. Imagine two and sometimes three of your four daughters having a PJ party on the same weekend. And to think I still have my sanity.....yessir.....twitch, twitch! It always helped for me to just sit and count the Flamingos flying by, or talking to the little green men, or simply sitting in the corner rocking back and forth and talking to the wallpaper. You miss those times.
My other remaining daughter is coming in three days for her oldest daughter's wedding, getting remarried at age 36. She'll be here a week, taking a break from her job in central Illinois and really looking forward to it. So am I and the weather looks pretty goof for her visit as well.
