Beautiful Fall Morning
Okay I know it's not fall yet but it feels like a perfect fall morning. I am looking forward to going a little north this weekend to start the close up of our trailer for the winter. The leaves will be changing and with any luck I will have a chance to grab a few photos. Rain is forcast but these things don't always show up as scheduled. I can't go back next weekend as my son is coming down to the city to celebrate our birthdays. Actually the real birthdays are the 6th and 8th of October but that falls during the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend and he is going to stay home for the visit of some of his Mother's family. My birthday is the 8th and his is the 6th and I have told him his whole life that he was my birthday present and quite honestly he's a gift that keep on giving. This year he reaches 14 and I'm still pleased with him.
I know a sound a little mushy for a guy but I couldn't be happier with him. Well maybe not all the time but most of the time at least. He is no Academic but he is warm, caring, with good sense of humour and generally happy disposition. I am so proud that he has embraced my love of nature and caring for all species. He is not bigoted toward people of other ethnic backgrounds or unduly biased as are many people of WASP heritage seem to be. So if he never turns out to be scholar I am sure that he will still live a very worthwhile life. Well at least that is what I am hoping.
My birthday this year is a bit of a milestone since it ends in "O". I not really bothered by it but the reality of turning 60 still doesn't seem right. I feel the same and I am almost in the same physical shape I have been for most of my life, well the grey hair and a few wrinkles aside. I think I am so fortunate to have a son so young and he certainly helps to keep me young. We share a lot of time and do a lot together. To celibrate our birthdays I think we will probably go out a play a round of golf, which seems to be an activity that both of us enjoy. This will be the last year that he will be playing with youth length clubs, I think his Christmas Present will be his first adult set. He has done very well though, short clubs and all, in fact when we played a couple of weeks ago he managed to drop one about three feet from the hole on a par 3 which was over a hundred yards with his five iron. He was one happy guy.
It is time I got some work done so I had better run along for today. Take care.
