That's us - Debi and me - out to lunch... again... 4th of July with my mom, dad and daughter Julia- sharing our last day of a couple of very nice weeks off. Debi and I had some great days with each other down at the beach, some good times with family and with friends and we were able to keep not only our Friday afternoon's with Dad and Mom but we also slipped in a quick visit and took them to a late lunch on the 4th.
Mom was greatly disturbed at each of our visits- she's never liked facial hair -and I didn't shave once while we were off... then... I'm sure she thought I did it just to spite her... instead of shaving the beard completely, I left a neat little gray ghost of a ghottee. I could carry a stick in hand, direct music and follow a bouncing ball! Mom hates it... fun to be almost 53 and still loving and being loved by my mom, even if it is with a good lecture.
Hope you're taking some time off this summer to enjoy the season. If you do... don't shave... visit my mom and dad... and remember what it's like to have someone wag her finger at you. It's summer- a great time to re-read "Dandelion Wine" by Ray Bradbury, lay around and grow a goat!
