Dancing as fast as I can...

Figuratively or actually; what do you believe?

In my case both.

Oh how I used to love to dance, in fact I took ballet for a dozen years with, tap, toe and jazz acrobatics/now called gymnastics, each for a while too, and yes I loved them all!

I can recall my one dance teacher even teaching us ballroom with boys and that was for a few months. I had started this all before the age of four with three teachers over those many years.

We were young and flexible and oh so capable and in my case hammy at most all recitals.

These days I have been known to dance with the dogs, yep our family pet members and they seem to enjoy it too…

Pacing oneself is a job in itself too.

And today I have gone beyond my limit.

I walked, oh did I walk… from a parking spot way out in Oshkosh by Gosh! (Actually at Fishville AKA Fisherman’s Village; they were quite busy with foreigners from all over the map!) We had trouble finding a handicap spot, but I proved that I did not need one, ha!

Hubby clocked the distance after at one tenth of a mile away from their entrance, not too bad I suppose, but for me it marked the beginning of the journey; once reached we had continued to walk more and then of course back again…

After there we went over to our Publix to yes, grocery shop again and this time for our Number One Son arriving this Monday with a rented Uhaul with all the items we will be storing for him here.

He says he will be staying two days, but not really since the truck has to be back by four on Tuesday and he lives a few hours from here…His home’s closing is February 5th.

The marinas that he has been looking at are slightly closer to where we live but still close enough to his work, but south instead of north of it where his home is/was.

Also now once all is said and done he will be able to spend more time with us!

That’s too sweet!

So with all the stuff I had to pick up to celebrate his arrival and to feed that extra mouth I once again walked with the shopping cart and bought all that we needed alone while Hubby sat/napped with Gus in our car, as he said, just a phone call away. I am extremely exhausted right now and tried a little nap this afternoon... hope I am not overdoing, just pushing.

We will be barbecuing so what I bought was a nice steak for the grill and extra baking potatoes and salad stuff, plus sandwich items and appropriate breads. You see, we have still enough breakfast foods, such as eggs and juice etc left so they were not needed in addition too.

Ironically on Number One’s acre of land he also kept chickens in a very nice coop for their eggs, they too have been farmed out, get it? HA!

At forty-something and not married but involved with a woman who has no concerns about this newest adventure of our son’s so we are accepting too, what else can we do?

Not that we shouldn't, sure now is his chance to perhaps on his extensive vacations that he has racked up at a job that he has been working at for nearly twenty years take off with that sail boat on the near or far away seas… I say why not!

But as a Mom I worry, Dad not so much but a little…we want him to know that we respect his judgment especially at his age we should…

Sadly, my parents were both gone by the time I was thirty-five, Mom when I was just thirty-one and Dad a couple of months before I turned thirty-six, so I don’t know what my responsibility is to him for an opinion. I suppose none is the best way to go, only support him as we are doing. That is why I said if he ever wants anything back he is storing with us and he moves back into a land home he will have some beginning stuff and he assured us that he is not putting all his apples in one basket financially and that  is more than okay! Relief.

Parents teach at times when we don’t even realize it, by example, and all I can say is that our son is very capable and will be able to accomplish all that he chooses in life!

On that note allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask all of you to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages with you know who and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
