My Mom got a cellphone call the other morning from an outdated High School neighbor and the guy invited our family up to his home for a week this summer.
I suppose it is in an area where they used to hang out years ago and my Mom is actually gleeful about going.
He has told us stories about his friends and all the adventures they had growing up and I am sure that he feels like revisiting his youth will make him feel the same way again; He said that there is a beautiful lake, hiking trails, fishing, and more that my fantastic friend and I can take luck of while my fantastic friend and I are there. Now, I am not the outdoorsy type so this may not be the best idea for me but I will try and make the best of it. I only hope that there will be some sort of indoor activities too. My idea of a vacation involves hotel rooms, swimming pools, and shopping; Of course, they also involve having quality heating and cooling at my fingertips. At least if there is some sort of weather conditions controlled retreat from all the outdoor fun, I can survive the whole home thing. Dealing with warm sunny mornings separate from being able to have a cool retreat would be miserable! Mom can cherish hanging out with his outdated university neighbor and reminiscing about the, “good outdated mornings”, and my fantastic friend and I can make some wonderful family memories. I am willing to make the sacrifice and put on a glad face so long as I am comfortable. Who knows, maybe I can be converted into a somewhat outdoors guy.
