Work, Work & A Good Family Visit

Ok, that settles it, I need a clone and I need one bad.  All my plans that I had for myself got totally shot down.  I’ve been home since 18:30 and it is currently 23:16 and other then speaking to Kathy and Harold for about 30 minutes I’ve been working on my online stuff the whole time.  And it just dawned on something that I forgot to do.  So as soon as I get this done I will attack that.

I will say that I had a great conversation with my mother-in-law Kathy, she has just been over joyed with Harold’s visit.  It has been going well.  They had been having the wine that we sent them for the holidays and when I called she started to pull my leg on asking who I was…………LOL  I’m like his wife, the one he has been married to for 10yrs in May…..it was too funny. She was just over the hill happy.  It was really cool
Harold got the printer going.  It was one of those things that they had hooked everything up correctly but it didn’t want to work until you unplugged and plugged it back in and do the restart thing.  Computers can be a pain some times.  Kathy was telling me that the pc talks to her.  Boy, that would drive me batty.
She was very surprised at the amount of pictures that he took when they went out to the falls and few other site seeing things.  He took about 450 of them in a short time.  For us, that is normal for us, for them it is stunning.  She really loved how well the pictures came out.  I took her that she has to poised for some pictures so I can have some. The only one we have is one they gave us years ago.

Kathy was surprised at how he has changed. All the things I’m use to him doing, simple things like helping on a rough trail, holding a door open she says she hasn’t seen that in years….sounds like before he left for the Navy…her polite son that she knew is back.  For me, he has always been that way, but what I noticed is that his overall coping skills have come a long way and so has his patience.  He really has grown though the years……even though he can still drive me nuts………grin

She says that this visit is what they needed.  I’m just happy as hell that it is going well.  He really needed to see his folks.

I need to get back to work before I head off to bed.
