One fish, two fish….
Tonight my dad’s friend from work was in town for a meeting. I met him at his hotel and took him to dinner and gave him a brief tour of beautiful Portland. I have corresponded with him via email for the past year or so-he sends me jokes and prior to my dad getting his computer, messages and pictures from my dad. He’s a nice guy and we had a good time. In many ways he reminded me of my dad. He talked a lot about his friends, riding his Harley, and even came to tears when he talked about losing his friend a year ago. He usually drinks Bud light so i made him try a bunch of Portland beers. he tried them- nuff said. 
Graham went to Oakes Park with his friend Nathan tonight. I don’t know if I’ve talked about little Nathan before. He has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. He is mostly functional now but it’s a matter of time before he looses muscle function. He’s just the sweetest little boy and he just adores Graham. Graham takes care of him which i find very sweet. Nathan thinks the world of Graham and wants to be just like him. Graham helps him when he falls down and always paired up with him in PE cause he’s very patient with Nathan. It’s one of those things that makes a mom proud. Anyway, Nathan’s mom is extremely talented sewer and makes these ADORABLE bags. She gave me a monkey bag that I am just madly in love with and ended up getting a couple more as gifts. Her company is designed to help educate people about her son’s disorder. The bags I have are not shown on her website- but the monkey pattern is. It SO reminds me of being a kid and having one of those sock monkeys that I think my grandma made me. The inside is lined with textured cloth- which feels like the actual sock monkey. It’s awesome! I’ll try to get a picture- or have her update her website. Until then you can check her out at WWW.ladymdesigns.org.
mick had his yearly physical and he is in great health. I’m so happy.
We went swimming at my friends house today cause the weather was absolutely gorgeous! My boys have completely turned into fish. I am in desperate need of a new bathing suit as the one i own is too big. When I got out of the water the top would sag down and nearly show off my cha chas. Time to finally give in and buy one that fits.
I’m rambling- so I better get in bed
