One More Day

Doug and Frank will be home tomorrow. They are in Bailey tonight and will take their time getting home. Frank said this afternoon, “Um Mom, why can’t we come home?” I told him they COULD come home but that Beckett was still very sick and I was hoping that he and Daddy wouldn’t get it too. That satisfied him.

Interestingly, Doug didn’t say a whole lot when I was actually talking to him, but once Frank got on the phone, Doug kept telling him things to tell me. One was that Frank caught a BIG fish today, over a foot long. And then I heard Doug say something, and Frank said, “Dad says he was skunked and I won, whatever that means.” Too funny.

Frank also said the place they were staying tonight was “really weird.” I told him one of the best parts of life as far as I was concerned was remembering those “really weird” places we’ve stayed and remembering to always laugh about how funny it was. I told him to write down everything he saw and thought and we’d write a wild story about it together when he gets home. He thought that was a great idea and immediately wanted to get off the phone to go find all the weirdness he could. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if Frank became a writer? Or loved it as much as I do?
