Gaye is always thinking of someone else adn today was no different. A colleague was making these gorgeous cookies for Valentines and she just had to get a few for friends and family.
Jennie and Kyle come over for dinner for Valentines. After dinner, Gaye and I go over to drop a cookie off at Mom and Dad's. We come around the block from the other direction this time and as we get near to the house we notice that one of the cars is gone and only the white car is there and the lights are off. Then I notice that there is gravel int he front yard - It is not Mom and Dad's house! so we drive down a few more houses to the right house. And we walk up to the door, which is set back from the front of the house about 10 feet. The porch light is not on and it is really dark back in there. Gaye and I cannot find the door bell. We are rubbing our hands all over the wall by the door but cannot feel the doorbell any where. Now we are laughing hysterically and afraid that they will hear us and call the police or something. I finally take out my cell phone and turn it on so that we can find where the doorbell is to ring it. Dad comes tot he door and invites us in and goes to get Mom who is "reading in bed". She comes out and eventually tells us that Dad came down and said, "Richard and Gaye are here. Did you forget to make dinner?" So we all had a great laugh together.
Who said getting old wasn't a hoot!?
you know that missing the house where your parents have lived for 15 years is truly a sign of old age and senility... better not make any important decisions today. probably best to go and read a book in bed all day instead.
