I am so glad today is here, Why? Because I am here. LOL No, I am looking forward to the weekend. We are going to Dave Sears 70Th birthday party. Man he is getting old.
Oh yes so is David. He will be 70 in June. I have to figure out what to do for him. Maybe just what I did for my 62Nd. Just have friends over and have a sandwich and Banana Split/Sundae bar. I have plenty of time to think on that.
Now I have to decide on Dave's, Maybe a round of golf at Tucker Oaks. Not sure he can walk that much any more. I will have to check with Gwena.
So my plans today are, Clean the house again, It is not bad, of course but it is in the Kool April Nights edition of Homes for Sale. It would be nice to have it perfect but I have been lax lately, like dishes in the sink and laundry on the laundry room floor and dust on the tables. I wonder why I cant pull it together some days. I just want outside, OUTSIDE, as Josh used to beg.
I recall a day, and I have it on tape. If Josh would say his ABC's I would take him outside.
Finally he said them for us, He was three years old. As soon as he finished he came to me, took my hand and said, "Outside Mamaw, Outside." I had to go after explaining to the rest about the bribe and the bribe we used on his dad at five years old.
Charles had a line in the Christmas program in Ms. Bradleys Class. All he had to say was "Ms. Bradley and all of us welcome you to our program."
Charles has this big booming voice, even as a child, When he stood, He said his lines perfect and LOUD.
He immediately left the stage, walked to us and held his hand out for his $5. We had promised him $ 5 if he did a good job.
He did and he got his money but he was supposed to stay on stage until the end of the play. All the adults saw what happened and we all had a good laugh.
Charles too loved the outside, we lived in the country and every morning as soon as he woke up he was out the door and visiting. Charles was an early riser, some days before 6 oclock. One day I woke up to find him missing. I ran out and Grandpa Crow was talking to him. He told us Charles came out nearly every morning to visit. Charles stayed in the yard but he was only four years old, too young to be running around the property, Alone.
Thank God for good neighbors.
So Outside is what I want, Outside Outside.
