My son and his fiance have come home from a trip to Los Angeles.
He just informed me that there was a lady making lace at Knotts Berry
Farm. Has anyone else seen this? I am thrilled that he took notice
and he even told the lacemaker that his mom did that.
I was gonna brag about my own off-shoot *anyway*, but, after the above,
I feel less shy... <g>
Mine went a-chasing his girlfriend (*not yet* a fiance, which is
raising all sorts of problems in her - very Roman Catholic,
Irish/Polish - family, while her being half-black *and* a New Yorker is
testing my DH's liberal attitude to the max <g>) to Europe this summer.
His father got a postcard of a melancholy landscape, and I of a smiling
lady dressed in a lot of lace - both postcards bought at the
Rijksmuseum, and both showing that he *pays attention* to his parents,
even when off the leash for years.
But, the real "melted butter and honey poured over my heart" (to use my
Mother's phrase) was an e-message I got (and nearly ditched as spam,
since it came from an unknown sender) from a woman (girl? The only time
reference she'd sent - to a friend of eecummings, who was 75 when my
correspondent was 10 - makes it a bit difficult to judge), presenty
domiciled in Amsterdam (but, I think, American all the same). The young
person, being DS's girlfriend's friend, housed Danek for a bit at each
end of his Dutch trip (they're in Ireland now, and incommunicado) and,
when Danek discovered she collected antique lace, he let fly with my
website (he set it up, he remembers the URL better than I do <g>)...
She visited it and was moved enough to send me a message of
appreciation...
That, of course, was very nice... But, like Irene, what I appreciate
more than anything else, is the offspring *taking notice*...
