When we had the cold snap last week I carried out my towels and tablecloths to protect my early blooming azaleas because I was expecting visitors from Canada today and I wanted to impress them with blossoms. Heheh. I made it! When I picked up my father and Dianne it was sunny and almost 70 degrees. What a glorious warm welcome to the lowcountry.
My father always built impressive swings for us when we were kids so I was proud to show him that I had carried on the family tradition of having a swing in my yard.
I have taken as much time off as possible for next week to spend time with them. It is hard to take time off and still be in town. I've already been tracked down to deal with work issues and so far all I've been away for was a few hours to do the airport run. I may need to lose my phone :).
Hope you get to enjoy many hours with your folks! Tell work that it can wait.
ReplyDeleteEasier said than done sometimes but I plan to try!
DeleteYou can feel the love from your photo....It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI am delighted to have them here :)
DeleteYou're so fortunate to have both your folks alive - LOSE THE PHONE and spend every minute with them!
ReplyDeleteMy mother passed away. My Dad was fortunate to find a lovely wife in Dianne.
Deleteturn that phone off and enjoy every precious moment.
ReplyDeleteI had to work half day today but off tomorrow and Monday. Yeah!
DeleteWonderful photo! Don't forget to get a shot of the both of you together! I always put that off until the last day (I guess mainly because I'm usually the one taking the photos) and then last minute stuff crops up and I don't do it! Enjoy your day together!
ReplyDeleteSame with me! That is the routine :)
DeleteEnjoy your folks' visit. And don't drive yourself nuts in doing so. They mainly want to spend time in your company, and the fancy meals and playing tourist are probably more than they need.
ReplyDeleteI did the big home cooked pot roast and mashed taters last night with my son here. We ate out this evening to get them out. It has been a rainy day today.
DeleteJoan, Do NOT answer your telephone while your folks are here; you need to spend time with them. Work can wait. You can and should rejoice in one another's company. As soon as the rain stops you can show your Dad how high you can still swing !!
ReplyDeleteHe didn't have great oak tree limbs to build swings from.
DeleteI agree, just turn off that phone or stick in a drawer and enjoy the time with your family.
ReplyDeletePhone batteries DO run down, you know? *wink*
