This time of year I'm pretty dang busy. I mean busy.
Lot's of hours lots of owies bloody knuckles and such. But Wednesday is my Friday.
I stay up late, enjoy the back porch, the radio and baseball and stay up way to late. Occasionally a fire but never alone. I may drink alone but no fires.
Sharon has rules. Ace, fire and beer after a 10 hr workday can be trouble.
Never has been before, but, there's always a first.
Sharon is working so she will be in bed way before I am. Before this new job of hers we would hang together on the porch. Lately, I've been hanging around the kitchen table with my son and his friends. FYI If you come to my house to just hang out we will be sitting around the kitchen table or a fire in back. Ironically one of my hobbies is burning old wooden kitchen chairs in my fires. I also have burnt an old wooden ladder or two. . It's quite possible I haven't sat on my couch in 5 years.
It's very enjoyable to sit and have intellectual discussions with young adults. If you haven't done it for awhile give it a try. Eventually I will wander inside and watch a movie or finish the Sunday paper. I can do anything I want, all night if I want, and sleep all day on Thursday.
Thursday is my favorite day of the week.
my mother used to get so mad at me because i liked to stay up a little later than "normal" than the rest of them. she could see my light on under the door, come busting in telling me to get to bed. i'm on bed, hello!! one night i got creative! :~) (that's me) i put a towel over my lamp. i had a "mushroom" lamp, made of hard plastic. it looked like a mushroom, with the top being open and that's where the light bulb is. now remember i put a towel directly over it...~~~~ before long i'm smelling smoke, and no, it wasn't my weed..i look over and the towel is smokin'! i didn't start a fire, but it was getting there.
ReplyDeletenow as far as talking to the young adults. i have 4 kids..13, 16, 22 (on may 24th) & 28..i love to talk to them and their friends. they are us when we were younger. the kids love the connection. some of the kids call me mom. in fact, the other night one of my sons female friends came over and visited with her girlfriend. they both do hair so i am gonna get a new doo.. anyway, people should talk and respect the kids. how neat is it to have an adult you can actually talk to that understands wtf is going on, and it's fun talking to the kids so we know wtf is going on also.. right.. rock on rock hard ace!! peace
