Dreams of the Father and Insights of the Daughter

Finding a new relationship built on the foundation of the past, we are moving into the future with anticipation for what will be discovered. Person to person, moving away from preconceived ideas about what this stage of life has to offer, we are open to the experience of each day as a revelation and a gift.

On Memorial Day, Dad and I took it easy except for doing the laundry. Laundry in easier now than it has been in the past. Part of the renovation of the house was a new washing machine and we got the first dryer ever for the house. Dad has been hanging clothes on the line outside in good weather or in the basement in rainy weather for the 20 years when he and Helen married. Laundry is less strenuous, but there is still the up and down stairs from basement to kitchen to bedrooms.

We went out for lunch at the Centre Street Cafe in Jamaica Plains. I didn't take my camera but should have. The area is vibrant and loads of people were out and about. The Centre Street Cafe was the only eatery that had a line outside waiting to be seated. There were a few chairs outside so Dad sat down. The fellow sorting out the seating saw him and seated us ahead of the rest of the group! Very sweet. Our waitress also fell in love with Dad at first sight. I found this restaurant by googling "Locavare." Yum! On the way back to the car, we stopped at the Goodwill where I found three shirts for me and and one for Dad.

Once home we had a Cribbage Tournament. I think we played about 5 games in all. Of course true to form Dad won the majority of the matches.

  1. Abby was in Boston over the Memorial Day weekend, and because she lived in Jamaica Plains, spent much of her time there.
