That's right. I retreated to Clinton to spend a few days with my family. I had a few adventures and these are them.
I live by a duck pond so i went and bought sissy the dog a leash. Everyday we went on walks to this duck pond ( really it is a retention pond that stores rainwater and runoff but they put fish in it and ducks and geese live there so everyone wins.) You see some strange things at a city pond. Like grown men fishing. FISHING! In a retention pond that is two feet deep. What is the point? Yeah i can see if you are six and after kindergarten you and your buddies get out your fisher price fishing poles and go down to the water hole to catch some fish, but middle age men spending all morning fishing a retention pond?
I also realized that when you are out and about Clinton in the middle of the day the only people you see are your aunts and people from Relief Society. I was fortunate enough to catch up on all the ward and family gossip and hear the whereabouts of everyone's kids and kids kids. People really open up and talk when they can tell that all you want to do is listen to your ipod and walk your dog.
I ran into a kid i knew in high school. He was at the pond with his two kids. He invited me and sissy over to his house to play with him and his kids. It took all my willpower not to scream and turn and run far far away. That was the last day i went to the duck pond.
My mom is mad greg is moving away ( he moves up today) so all week she kept picking fights with him. She would call him at all hours of the day and yell at him for weird stuff like not having a debit card, or leaving his scriptures at seminary, or yell at him over voicemail when he was in class cause his room wasn't packed up. My poor mother. She is going to miss little Golden.
Anyway, i'm back in Logan now. Oh and Lynn told me he got attacked by a flock of geese on his mission. I'm still laughing over that story. So if we ever get sick of him we can just get an army of geese to guard our apartment.
PS What is the time difference here to there? And when are you coming back? Plus, Les, Tiffany and Brian are engaged.
