Mowing the lawn
Cutting the lawn allows me to think about many things, other than making sure that the lines on the grass are neat and straight.
My wife, Dot, and I raised three girls; all grown with their own families and their own lives. I spent some time reminicing about what we did in our younger years and what are daughters are doing at the same ages….
Dot used to volunteer an awful lot with Girl Guides…and I just realized that the tradition is being carried on #1 and #3 three daughters as Girl Guide Leaders in their own right. Dot also used to spend a lot of time helping out at the elementary school where the kids went to, cooking and selling hot dogs as a fund raiser for the Parent Advisory Council. Today the # 2 daughter sells us cookies, calendars and flowers to raise money for the 2011 P.A.C. And lastly, I spent many years volunteering at the Terry Fox Run, every third Sunday in September setting up signage long before the crowds turned up. As of this year #3 will have taken over my position for the second year in row, so I can now sleep.
I hope all of you are having a great Friday evening….gotta go finish the lawn and think.
