It Was a Beautiful Evening

It was a beautiful evening.  I had just finished two extended overtime shifts, and the Mother of Five was going to be attending one of #4 of 5’s out of town softball games.    

Since I had about an hour or so to spare (which is pretty unusual) I emailed my parents and asked them if they were going to be home that evening.  I mentioned that it had been a while since I had been over to see them and wanted to just stop by and shoot the breeze for a bit.  They replied that they were going to be home.

So, I stopped by. 

There was no plan, no agenda, and no script.
I simply enjoyed a cold beer, a cigar, and the company of my parents on their deck.
It was delightful! 
Best leisure hour I have had in a while!  

Thanks mom and dad!
