pleasant encounters......

ok, so my eldest child came home last night to surprise my spouse on his 49th brithday.......we had an idyllic supper, with grandma, all the children home........well.. at least until the election came up and we spatted a bit over kerry 'talking out of both sides of his mouth', to which i countered that it was better than having cheney speaking for him out of his mute mouth like a blessed puppet...............anyway.......my eldest was just precious......chatting a mile a minute with our middle child......about who knows what...it was so good to see both children vibrant with excitement and focus........the eldest even said as much to me this afternoon before he went back to lexington.......'you, know mom, i didn't have anybody to talk to when i was in high school,.......and the people i hung around with...well i just did things i shouldn;'t have done..........i know what (scw) is going through......he doesn't have anybody to talk to.......he will when he goes to college.......' such incite from a boy not yet 20.......i am so pleased that they have found each other as friends at this late date........
