Young Parents

We went out for supper at friends’ place last night…had a good supper, turkey burgers, and all kinds of salads…  company was good, a strange mix though… L and I were the oldest, then several other couples in their 40 and 50’s, and then 2 young couples with little ones… the kids were good, but the adults a little strange… i guess they bothered me, as they had such different ideas about raising kids… I raised two grubby, fighting, laughing  boys, and enjoyed every minute of it… the little 3 year old girl, was cute, and well behaved, but her mom drove me nuts… I have never liked whispering…with anyone.. this young Mom whispered to her little girl all the time, instead of just saying “thank Denise for supper” she whispers it to the child, as if the child could think of something like that on her own..Mom was very attractive, but doesn’t like dirt, farm eggs, food that doesn’t come off Styrofoam , food that touches on her plate..and her child getting dirty… they are also working on the child’s potty training, but Mom put her in blue jeans, with a zipper, and a scarf for a belt… looked cute, but the child couldn’t go to the bathroom with out help..it was almost like the child had to be all dolled up, instead of being practical..I guess that is the problem, i am too practical…the other couple were very nice also, but they were vegetarians, and they were (baby included) very pale, I know i am weird, but if i can’t complain to you all, i will fret about it for a while…

Only 5 days to Desert Mesa… not a full house, but we really enjoyed it last year with the same amount of guests..  although i do miss an agility class on Saturday, but one does have priorities… and spinning will always come first.. will take lots of pictures and get them up on here, seeing it is so easy…watching the “masters” out of the corner of my eye… what a beautiful place, i don’t care for golf, but i do appreciate a good shot..Larry is off having a nap as we are off for supper out again to nite… and then again tomorrow nite again for me… going way party for an agility buddy…going out for Chinese, and i do love their ‘ginger beef’… Happy Easter to ya all……….

I agree with you Sheila - I like em grubby, adventurous & full of P & V myself! I think too many weird people raise weird kids these days - I mean, what's wrong with a little dirt anyway?? And what do you do with food that touches??
Looking forward to Retreat. We're bringing Karen too! Gail & decided she was just coming no matter what!!! Get ready for us . . . .

Really looking forward to meeting everyone at the Retreat. I have tons of fibre ready to spin so I'll be the one treadling like mad.

If you are going to the Chinese restaurant near the Best Western, I am definitely jealous. I absolutely love their food, and especially their ginger beef!

See you Friday,
