Today is a big day. It is my parents 49th wedding anniversary. It is also the start of a weekend of watching my nephew and niece. We thought we would combine events and make a celebrations of it. I invited my parents over to have dinner with all of us, our kids and my brother's kids. Nothing says extended family celebration in our house like Chinese food.
I picked up my nephew from day care. Linda called in the order of Chinese food. Caz picked up my niece from a play date with her neighbor. It was all going so well. Until Hank and I went to pick up the food. They didn't have or order. The order was called into the other location. So off we went on a 40 minute detour. Oh well. More one on one time with my nephew. He was in great spirits. He gave me such a great hello when I picked him up. He was very chatty. He was looking to help me get the food.
My parents were happy. They appreciated the time with all of us. They didn't have plans. They were also not feeling up to much after Dad's surgery and Mom's complication from her test. I pressed them for next year. What would they like to do? Who would they like to see? Dad said no one. He doesn't want a fuss. Too bad. This is the one time I have to ignore his wishes. 50 years is a long time. It deserves a celebration.
