O, how quickly our parents grow up!
Oct. 22nd, 2008 09:35 amSo, last night the Captain and I were headed back from a lovely evening packing up the pirate camp and filling the car to the very BRIM with filthy, dusty, dirty pirate paraphenilia. And really looking forward to getting home and having to find a place for it within the house.
I had called my mother on the way out to the site, just doing my daughterly weekly check-in and no one was home -- my parents out gallivanting with the neighbors -- on a weeknight! Now that they're both retired, they can stay out late. On the one hand, it's a joy to be able to call them after 9pm without waking them up. On the other hand, sometimes the window for daughterly checking-in is small and I used to be able to count on them being home at a reasonable hour.
( But I digress )
