Mom Falls for Dad ... Again

Mom fell for Dad many years ago ... aaaaaahhhhwwwww ... well, she fell for him again this weekend. I will let her tell you about both times ....

How dad and I met! I was invited to a picnic where there were several airmen (dad was stationed at Sandia Airforce Base in Albuquerque). While at the picnic a softball game was organized. Your dad was the catcher on the other team. When I came up to bat, I hit what I thought was a homerun. I ran around the bases as hard as I could and as I got closer to home plate I saw the ball being thrown to your dad. I decided to show off and slide into home plate. I fell at your dad's feet and he put me out. I looked up into his blue eyes and feel in love instantly and told myself that I was going to marry that guy. I can even tell you what he was wearing. Grey slacks, a plaid maroon and grey shirt and hush puppies. [ ... Hush puppies, Dad? Are you kidding me? ... ] I didn't let a little thing like he was dating a good friend of mine stop me from marrying him. [ ... Nice, Mom, nice ... ]

Who knew Mom was such a wildcat? More than 40 years of marriage later ... oops ... she did it again ...

Well ... "Falling for Dad...Again" happened Saturday night. I forgot to carry dad's water jug to the bedroom because I was too busy nagging him about being careful on how he was walking ... too fast. I ran down the stairs to get his water (ran being the word) and fell down the last four steps. Bad carpet burn on the knee and some sore muscles. We had a good laugh that I fell for dad again.

You crazy lovebirds ... keep laughing and loving ...
