My phone rang around 5 p.m. I saw on the caller ID that it was Dad, which was not a good thing because we had just had our weekly call the day before. When your parents are getting up there in years, phone calls outside the regular schedule are cause for alarm. The first thing Mom says is, "I'm exhausted." Mom, what's wrong? "It took so long to get through all those comments! We even missed watching the evening news. Your poor dad...he just kept reading and reading..." (Dad reads the comments aloud to Mom...all that small computer type is hard to see, you know.) Anyway, they were both so tickled by all the wonderful things you all had to say that they had to call and share. So thank you for making their day...and mine, too!

Meantime, I will leave you with this encore post from June 2008, when Mom and Dad came to the 7MSN and met George and Alan for the first time.
***
My parents were visiting the 7MSN last week and got to meet George and Alan up close and personal.
George dished out an abundant supply of hugs...
...and Alan got in on the action, too. What a brave little burro he has become.
But Alan still has a shy streak, and this picture of him peeking out from the middle of the frame just cracks me up.
That is just too cool that your folks got such a kick out of the comments yesterday! What a wonderful way for them to keep up-to-date on the happenings at 7MSN. A BIG hello to them from Pat in east TN.
ReplyDeleteYou must be feelin the love too. I think it's wonderful that your parents keep up with your blog and can be in touch with you this way. This sweet post says a lot about how much they love you. And the old post, with those dear pictures, it's a heartwarming thing to wake up to.
ReplyDeleteHi Mom and Dad! :)
ReplyDeleteHad I known your folks were lurking, I'd have said howdy — HOWDY, Mom & Dad!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a nice visit, and the boys were on their best behavior. It's nice that your parents can keep an eye on you from far away.

ReplyDeleteWhat cute pictures of your mom and dad with George and Allan! My family doesn't read any of my blogs (fortunately!)...I can say whatever I want about them and they wouldn't even know! I may try that tomorrow! Yes, "Good morning!" to your mom and dad!

Love Alan peeking... that's so funny.
ReplyDeleteDear Dad, locate on your computer where to enlarge. If you are on a Mac, go up top to VIEW and then scoll down to ZOOM... makes a big difference... I use it. Not sure how to do it if you are on a Windows PC though.
Alan had such a baby face:-)
ReplyDeletethat was so nice that mom and dad came to visit! they need to come back to meet Lucy!

Hello mom and dad - from Canada
ReplyDeleteThis post popped up as a recommended read at the bottom of your blog today. I love seeing pics of your dad and mom at 7MSN!
