My daughter rang one morning, Hello Mom, how are you and I, I simply said I'm fine, I hope you are well too? Hé Mom, she said, I have a bit of a problem overhere I said, as mothers always do, oh please do tell me dear We have to play a softballgame not far from you she said the problem is there are a few who desparate need a bed for it's a weekend game we play wich takes 'till sundaynight I've told them Oh my folks don't mind so please say it's allright There will be only two or three but they have little kids and so if they could stay with you the night it would be easier you know just put a matrass here or there and they will find their way no nuissance will it be for you as we will be playing all day A few days later she called again, Hello Mom, how are you is it a problem to take a few more, say maybe another two and I said yes, no problem here, we sure will manage that we disarange some furniture and lay down a second bed Not one week later she called again, Hello Mom, how are you hé listen, all the other guys, they want to sleep there too but don't you worry Mom and Dad, they won't be trouble at all it's only for sleeping and during the day we constantly play ball On the pasture we put some sheep, the grass was way too high and let her clean up afterwards, wich she did with a big sigh we made a temporary toilet in the old wood chickenhouse draped with curtains and we prayed there wouldn't be a mouse And so they came with tents and all, the few who needed a bed they brought their food and booze along and even a nice pet a colourful sight of people, to fourtyseven the "few" had grown my daughter has a very big heart, so actually I should've known It was the most delightful weekend with such lovely people and we were stuck with food and booze for weeks after they left. LOL A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess...

Thanks for reading and yes Sunshine, she takes after me, always impulsive actions, but I think that's a lot of fun. Titia A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess... |
