  1. A Few Reasons Why I Don’t Like To Say Goodbye

    September 12, 2006 by Gail

    Michael reading a couple of books to me

    Michael read a couple of books to me yesterday, and I asked him if he would write some letters from time to time. I also asked Melissa and Maddy if they would write to me, too. It’s hard to leave them again and I don’t know when I’ll be back. I hope the twins remember who I am the next time I see them.

    I don’t think there’s anyone who dislikes goodbyes more than I do.

  3. Party of Nine

    Gumpa and Maddy Megan with her creation

    Maddy and MichaelI realised today that it’s been about 14 months since I took the whole family out for dinner (White Spot — I remember this because we were talking about Melissa’s shoes for the wedding).

    Wow, a whole year since we braved dining in public en masse, with all five kidlets, parents, and Gumpa. This time we went to Boston Pizza, and we took over a section of the restaurant early in the evening. I thought it went pretty well, as these things go. There weren’t any full-on tantrums or chucking of food to other tables. We’ve left bigger messes, I’ve left bigger tips to compensate. No one lost an eye.

    But that Michael — boy, can he eat!!

    Mister

    “When I tell people how old I am, they don’t believe it,” my father says proudly.

    “Not when you colour your hair,” I reply.
