Our family has had the 3rd week (or 4th) of Aug since we were little to stay at the 'family' cabin. Since my dad died, and all of us kids had grown up with families of our own, she didn't feel comfortable going up alone. You have to open up everything, and go into a dirt cellar across cinder blocks to the electrical panel, but all the directions (step by step) are on the wall above the trap door in the floor- can you see what a procedure it would be? My sister goes up (with a gang of her friends and family) to open it up,... and I usually go up on the weekend at the end to help clean it up and close it down. It really is HER week, so I really had to behave- he was the 'guest' and I was just 'family'. And I can't tell you how many times I held my tongue, then just let go as controlled as I could! And I DID say something to him seriously- I was hoping he could tell I wasn't fooling around!! AND, right before the sweeping incident, LOL!! I really think he's MORE than hard of hearing!!Nancy Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12808106113537248432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156177150133621872.post-3891271679517468262009-08-26T09:49:41.346-04:002009-08-26T09:49:41.346-04:00Just found your blog and read your last 2 posts. L...Just found your blog and read your last 2 posts. LOVED IT!!! It was very courageous of you to agree that your Mom could bring her friend on your vacation weekend! I'm a Christian and know we are to love everyone through Jesus, sometimes it's so difficult, and sometimes we just have to leave the situation for awhile and return with a different outlook--but a whole weekend with the person must have been hard--I would have lost my cool.I would have had to say something in a serious conversation to the man. I'll bet after that weekend your Mom thinks differently about him, right? Or you're hoping she does, right? I have to admit your post had me laughing--it was like a comedy sketch. I'm sorry, I can just picture all of y'all in the cabin and him sitting there commenting on your sweeping. I think in the sketch your person would have thrown the pancake batter at him!<br />mimimimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18210232259306050442noreply@blogger.com
