thisnewdayHad the grandson here on Sunday, ostensibly to work on the workshop project, do his laundry, and have some dinner. Guess which two got done? OK, next time I pose a rhetorical, I'll try to make it a little tougher.
I used to joke that I had to pay the kid to come and see me a couple of times a week. Now, apparently, even that's not enough. But we did have the dinner, a pretty good Spanish rice that I shopped for that morning and put together, before he got here, in the early afternoon.
Because the granddaughter didn't have soccer training over the holiday weekend, he and I could've extended our time into the evening a bit but he seemed anxious to get home. And I acquieced because of school resuming on Monday with a big basketball game in the afternoon.
Sadly, I learned the next morning that he'd gotten sick overnight, didn't make it to school, and so missed his game. He told me later that he really regretted not being there, to help his team get its first win of the season. Which made me even sadder for him because I know how much basketball means to him.
But I guess that's life. I encouraged him to focus on getting back into things on Tuesday and I always hope that softening the bumps a little and encouraging him to come back with a positive attitude will help him on that day when I'm no longer here to do those things for him...

Date: 2017-11-30 01:05 pm (UTC)I bet your spanish rice was better received than this veggie, burger rice skillet thing I whipped up last night. Wasn't even my idea, it was Erin's. Anah sent a text to her mom saying it looked like "ass," and she wouldn't even try it. Now tell me, how does food resemble ass? And, why is she using a term like that anyway? I am becoming less conversant with the terms used in "teenspeak."
Erin, (who probably shouldn't have) passed the text convo on to me and I didn't say a word, but somehow she let Anah know she had told me and Anah was angry, it was just effing great!
Everyone else had two helpings so apparently it didn't taste like "ass" which I can only imagine with horror. And, Anah gave me a big hug and apologized fervently with many compliments about my cooking. I found it somewhat amusing, somewhat disturbing and think I should make the dish more often and announce, "Hey, were having "ass" for dinner tonight!"
