When I got back, her daughter Jan was there, with Debbie’s grandson. They stopped by because her husband had to leave for work out of town. I said, good, you can join us too for dinner. We all went to the Outback for dinner. I was starving, so this would hit the spot.
Dinner was fun and entertaining. Jan wanted to know all about our weekend, and she too asked when we were taking her. I said let’s set something up for a few weekends from now. Jan asked if there is enough sleeping room, with 5 of us there. I said not a problem. It sleeps 6, may be even more if you arrange it right. Jan looked at her mom and asked, where do you sleep. Deb just smiled at her and said, where do you think silly. Jan looked at her, grinned and said, oh mom, you shameless hussy. We all laughed. I told Jan that is you guys like camping, you guys can use it too, you know, with out mom and me there. Debbie then said, yeah, we’ll even baby sit for you, so you two can have a weekend away, and it wont cost you much, just food and gas. Jan thought that was a wonderful idea.
After getting back to Deb’s, Jan then left, wanting to get the baby to bed. Debbie asked if it was ok that she volunteered to watch her grandson, and said that I was cool with it, but it has been a long time since I had to watch a three year old. We snuggled on the couch the rest of the evening, until about 10pm. We were both worn out and said let’s get to bed. In bed we talked about the weekend. She was so happy that it went as well as it did. She admitted at first, she was a little apprehensive, since it used to be John and her doing what we did, with Ben and Leenie. But, she said, they have accepted you as part of the family now, so get used to this. I chuckled and said, honey, we have along life ahead of us, and having great friends to share with, makes it so much better.
