The hydrangeas in your old yard have come back in full force and just look lovely. Mom goes on and on about how nice they are and how they remind her of Broughton Road. Dad has stated that he "hates those scraggly purple blue bushes" and is tired of seeing them all over the place. Mom is debating buying some and planting them front and center in the yard, despite Dad's ill feeling towards them.
Last night us 3 and Carolyn and Dave all went to see the new Pirates movie. Dad and Dave behaved like small children, talking loudly, laughing wildly, and causing people to turn around in their seats to stare. And this was all before the previews started. Mom and Carolyn pretended not to know those two inbetween shushing them and laughing at them. Those two were not amused by the constant "shh!!" they were receiving from their wives and therefore retaliated. Dave began in that redneck voice, "Shut your blowhole old lady!!" while Dad smiled and swigged his beer, satisfied with Dave's remark.
Finally the movie started and those two settled down, though Mom heard Dave burp twice.
In other news, we've been enjoying dinners out on the patio recently, where mom has strung up some little lights.
Buddy, of course, joins us for every meal, sitting patiently with his big dog eyes until someone "drops" a bone.
We have all noticed that Buddy seems to be putting on some doggie pounds. Dad plays frisbee with him the evenings and we think he'll slim down some once he gets back into swimming and other assorted water-sports.
Gosh the yard looks lovely. Ours is still dirt and rocks. The alfresco dining also looks like something in a movie, but I know how humid it is. Enjoy your boring slumpage time. It will end soon enough.
