Took Dad out on the town today. Mom and dad were married 4-4-40. He’s been a bit sad, but we had a wonderful day in the rain. Red Lobster, Sam’s Club. OOOhs and Ahhs over the budding trees, searching for the calves in the fields,spotting wild flowers blooming in the woods, stopping for ice cream, singing along to songs written a hundred years ago and knowing all the words cause he taught them to me as a child. A wonderful blessed day......I’m exhausted.
What a great day with your dad. I remember as a child my dad playing the piano and we would all gather around and sing. He and mom would sing “Shanty in Shanty Town” (my title, maybe not the right one) and would segue into “Put On Your Old Gray Bonnet”. Good Times.
Have you begun your gardens yet?
