Truth be told, I can no longer climb the fence like Willie 'Pops' Stargell did in his glory days (see above).
And, while we once played a whole lot of beach sand baseball, I have never forced my kids to make like Sister Sledge and sing 'We Are Family'.
Although I must confess that, occasionally, I do still get a hankering to re-enact scenes from our 'Busking Year'.
On that note, the geezing rockers recently took Bigger E. to a gig deep in the woods so that she could belt it out with the band.
It was a whole lot of fun....

Cool!
ReplyDeleteYou and the spousal unit have provided your children with a really amazing and fun life. Good on you. But then from my readings of your blog you also had a couple of amazing parental units.
Thanks e.a.f.--
ReplyDeleteTruth be told, it hasn't been all double rainbows and lollipops - especially given the fact that I've often shortchanged my kids, a lot, in terms of time due to my obsession with my day job. That is a true regret.
You are absolutely right about my own parents though, for all kinds of reasons, including the fact that, when it mattered they never scrimped on the time thing..
