"A weekend visit."


Well, it finally happened.... I absent-mindedly deleted a rather interesting post when I wrote the previous one.... all about my parents visit this weekend... [sigh]. Yes, indeed, computers are only as smart as thier human operators.... and I guess I wasn't all that smart. Oh, well. Quick recap:

This past weekend, my parents came down for a visit to see my sister's college production of "The Diary of Anne Frank." She was directing it -- her Senior directorial debut I suppose you could say. Of course though, they also had a little time to visit with me too, and we got in a lot of wonderful chatting time, some wonderful advice and 'career' suggestions from my father, a delicious belated 'birthday meal' out to Applebees, and, oh, did I say some wonderful chatting time?! ... [grin].

It's been about two years or so since my parents have been able to come down from Minnesota to visit. Family matters prohibited them from doing so during that time. I suppose you could say, that was why this weekend was so special. As it is, I rarely get to see them in person, since about 300-some miles of direct interstate seperates them up in the Twin Cities, and me down here in Milwaukee. Thank God, though, for the wonders of human creativity -- You just gotta love instant messaging! ... [chuckle].

It was a good weekend though, well worth taking a break from the rigors of job-hunting, and just relaxing among family.... and listening to a hyper-excited sister who can't stop talking about getting married! Oh, well, I guess one can't have everything. [lol]

(... It probably doesn't help that I room with her fiance, does it? ... [chuckle]).

Have a great Tuesday, keep smiling, and until next time,

Your happily blogging friend,
-Jon
