Some people ask me how I can stand to have Red gone for a month and how can he handle not being here. It's simple really - we drive each other crazy. We are usually at a point of screaming by the time he gets to take his trip. But, I miss him after a very short period of time and he gets homesick. The only thing that makes it easier is knowing that he is having more fun there than he would be here. We've locked ourselves in for the next month or so. It's hot. Forecast of 121 either today or tomorrow... can't remember. ANYWAY, he's able to go outside in the mornings and evenings and even a little bit during the day when it's not too hot. Yesterday he had a particularly great day. My parent's town has a big, long parade where every person with a vehicle over 20 years old joins up. You have never seen so many 1975 Dodge Chargers in your life! And every person with a horse comes to let it poop on the street. And if you have a dance school, singing class, preschool or daycare, you throw ALL the kids in the back of a truck and make them yell out things about why YOU are the best. The parade has a limited number of floats and NO ONE THROWS CANDY! I mean, come on! Why go to a parade if you won't get candy? That's just silly... anyway, everyone seems to think that this parade is the most awesome thing in the world... which is why my family skips it and heads here:
It's called "The Riot Zone" and they had a ball! I guess there was one other family there. Red was able to get off one go kart and get on the next one. They gave them extra long rides on the bumper boats and they were able to take their time in mini golf because there was no one else playing. They had the whole thing to themselves. So, for me, knowing that he's having days like that makes the time away worth it. That and the fact that the PlayStation hasn't been turned on for 3 weeks now.
Hey Red! If you're reading this - I love you! I miss you! And I can't wait for you to come home in a week and a half! Have fun with Grandma and Pop Pop :)
