Had I taken a picture ... this post would have been so much more meaningful (or entertaining at least)
This past weekend, the Captain and I lunched with our dads. The outing was planned to celebrate my dad's birthday (afterall ... why on earth would I want to BUY another gadget or dumaflidgy for him to sit somewhere??) So ... go figure ... the birthday boy picks Micky D's!! My sister (who he lives with) said it was NOT because he was trying to save us money- but rather that he rarely has the opportunity for junk food. And the Captain's dad .... well he is a junk food aficianado! So off to Ronald's place we went. NOW PLEASE IMAGINE- being in the company of a pair of 87 year old gentlemen. Let me elaborate ... it takes a little longer to decide on what to eat. There is a deer-in-the-headlights expression when it comes to choosing a booth in such a large room. And once we are seated- the volume increases to be heard, the iambic pentameter is slowed for better comprehension, and there is some repetative phrasing present. AND- there is a great deal of laughter over common subjects like walkers, false teeth, & depends undergarments.
More than once, the Captain and I met in a glance with smiles on our faces- to be able to spend time with these wise old owls in such comfortable surrounding was a gift... to us! They have been amazing influences in our lives and now .... it is up to us, to make sure we are there for them in the same vain. Life comes full circle.
