Sunday

My father had surgery on his creaky old back this week and once again I am amazed at his strength.  He is in his late-ish 70's and was up and walking day of surgery while in hospital!  He stopped by to see our new kitchen this morning on his way home to his own bed.  I loved being with both parents and Mother enjoyed a bacon sandwich...  Soon they will be able to come for meals after only driving twenty minutes or so!  I cannot wait for that day to come.

The four of us went to the Taylor Swift concert this weekend - the girls first ever concert!  They screamed with all the other girls and sang all the words along with Taylor, ate junk food, ooohhed and aaahhhed over the dresses and the talent, generally had quite a time!  I do not remember concerts when I was younger being so LOUD!  or the screaming fans being so LOUD!  Sensitivity increases as years go by???

I received the final documents that will allow us to travel and live our lives as we choose without asking another's permission!  Funny how a person who has no interaction with his children can have such influence on what they can do and where they can go.  He has not seen or talked to them in years, yet I have to jump thourgh hoops, spend thousands of dollars to obtain freedom - thought I had done that with the divorce but no...  So now, having had SOUL custody all along, I have sole custody as well.  I am still required to inform him of our whereabouts but at least we can go...

A very eventful week indeed!
