Tout de l'eau

I took six years of French in high school and college. I even got to use my little knowledge of French in Paris. I would say something and they usually would answer in French... occassionally in English. But I got more of that in Italy. The title translated to all of water... my term for being soaking wet while blogging.

I decide to volunteer my services to Dad today. I had the day off from work, he had a big project in the pool/yard to do and it gave me a chance to hang out with him and get stuff outside done. I work all day most of the week in the library plus I live in an apartment. Mom and Dad have offered me plants.. I even come from a long line of planty people... no not pod people: P My maternal grandparents have an acre garden. My parents have a huge yard and spend most weekends working in it. My sisters raid the dumpsters of garden stores... me, I look at a plant and it dies... So we made a new platform for the pool pump, smoothed out wrinkles in the liner, mowed the neighbor's yard and vaccumed the neighbor's pool. Hence the whole wetness thing...

I like hanging out with Dad. He is a very cool person. He is the King of Tacky and the most Christian person I know. Though he is loathed to think that of himself. He doesn't realize that it is the imperfections and the struggle to stay the path that makes a true Christian. He is caring and compassionate. He tries so hard with both those things. But he always is there for us even now. I was the middle kid and it was hard to be noticed sometimes. But I loved that he used to make "dates" with me. It always made me feel special. He falls asleep at the drop of a hat. Apparently his dad used to do the same thing so it always makes me think of Grandfather when he does that. I like having that connection between them since I don't really remember my paternal grandfather.

P. is coming up this weekend. She left town about 2 hours ago. I am hoping she makes it up here with no trouble. Though it is looking doubtful that we get to go to JMOMA. She is thinking of moving back home. I wish I could help her with that decision. I am still trying to answer that question even now. Should I stay or should I go now... If I go there may be trouble If I stay there may be double... Guitar solo! This is definitely the year to decide. I could poll you guys... why do I get the feeling a ton of you will pencil in suggestions...: )

Good day and have a pleasant tomorrow.
