Getting Along
It's been a year since hubby's horrible fall. He's doing really great, by the way. We didn't do our annual camping trip to the Covered Bridge Festival but we did do a day-trip yesterday with our son and his fiancé.
On the way home our boy took over the reins and he jabbered the whole time. I got a real sense of how grown up he is when he started talking about video games now versus "back in the day," meaning when he was just starting out gaming about a dozen years ago. I couldn't help laughing. Not making fun of him. I was just deliriously happy about my baby boy being an adult. It was a short laugh though because he was seriously concerned about the downturn in gaming with respect to skills, auto-leveling, instant gratification and a lot more. I'm not going to get any more into it because 1) it's not what this post is about and 2) I'm not a gamer and I understand very little about it. But I was amazed and am proud about everything he said. The conversation moved quickly to his job which he and hubby continued with while we gals started talking about wedding plans. It'll be here in a blink!
My sister started her chemo treatments. She's had two now. I called her and she sounds really good. My mom had a visit with her on Saturday and she suspects my sister is less hopeful than she makes out to be. I told her we'll just have to stay hopeful for her.
I've been sitting here today looking out the window at the beautiful early autumn scenery. The windows are open. A cool wind is blowing stuff off the tables through the house. The smell of burning leaves. That concerns me a bit though because of the wind.
Gotta go now because the Cubbies are playing the Cards. It's a beautiful day for a ball game!
GO CUBS!
