Dad has done his east coast pilgrimage and I am the lucky recipient of his first stay. He arrived on Friday evening, after fighting all the extra holiday traffic and boy was I glad to see him. I hope I can keep him extra long! Sorry Rissa and Dory, I'm being selfish...I should want to share. I will let you have him, if I have to.
Since he has been here David and I have taken him to Buck's Tavern, Montgomery Inn, and we spent a nice hot Sunday at the ballpark watching the Reds beat the Rockies!
We picked a great game to go to. Jamie Moyer pitched his old school style wearing his old school pants and socks,
Votto hit a big home run
and the hits just kept going out of the park to break the parks home run record for one game!
Dad even got to see Chapman's 90+ mph pitching!
Funny...90+mph pitching in 90+ hot weather! It made for a sweaty afternoon and the snowcones looked even more appealing!
We settled in last night to watch the first of the three part Hatfield & McCoy mini-series!
I have the DVR set so Alex can watch it the next time he is here. It has proven to be very good. Dad & I plan on watching all three!
Having him all the way in Arizona is hard. I miss him...yes, even as a grown up. I still need my Daddy. Having him here is comforting. I am sleeping better, feel less anxious and have an overall sense of calm. I hope he stays extra long and if not, let's hope this week creeps by, because I don't want him to leave, but, until then I'll keep my eye on the patio door and smile every time I do!!
Because my Daddy's here and everything is temporarily perfect in my world!
