This time last week I was anticipating my final day without visitors.
We had a diver in our pool clad in a dry suit,
checking for leaks,
he assured us there weren’t any.
Now, one short week later, I’ve survived a houseful, thrown a party, become a mother-in-law without any tears, seen Lincoln, done drive-through-sight-seeing downtown, made a dent in the left-over Deep Ellum Blonde, eaten a high dollar breakfast, watched two English boys swim, minus dry suits and without chattering, in a pool with a temperature of 16 degrees centigrade
and had company on my favourite walk,
around the empty pond…not!!
Now all is as if it never happened, except for the photos!
I miss having an excuse to go and sit on the glider and watch them play bringing back memories of my homeschooling days. Only my crowd would never be swimming in April!
Well hello there! My name is Vivienne McNeny.
I am an empty nester exploring life as a Boomer…you could say I'm happily Boomering along!
As a homeschooling Mum I have finally quit the job of role model and mentor to my four children. I do what I want to do, eat when I feel like it, enjoy life with my blue eyed cowboy and clean my house once a month or so whether it needs it or not!
In true English form I write about the emergence of my true identity now that I can no longer hide behind my children as their Mum.
