So many memories…

After high school and when there was no special man in my life, I asked Ma and Pa for a man for Christmas.  They came through.  That year they gave me my large ceramic Santa. I remember how pleased they were to have “gotten” me.  Another year I asked for sexy socks.  Yes, my love of socks goes back a long ways.  Once again, they delivered.  I still have the red socks in my drawer that have the word sexy all over them.  Again, I remember how pleased they were with themselves.

I met Tim when I lived alone in Lawrence.  However, on our first date Ma and Pa were visiting for the weekend.  I didn’t think it was fair to have Tim meet my parents since he wouldn’t be expecting it.  They parked across the street and sat in the car when he picked me up.  Ma kept Pa from using the binoculars to check him out.  We didn’t tell Tim about this till several years later.

I love to think about Pa with his glint in his eye doing or saying something and Ma responding with “Charlie!”.

 

Love
