Day 50...mama's wisdom

Mar 10

Wow! 50 days already, how did that happen? I'll probably be saying that again in another ten days....
Martyn and I very much enjoyed spending the day with Grannie and Jack. Mom and I (and Martyn) went to the store to get some diapers, and milk because all mom had in the house was soy milk (yuck!). She was so cute at the store, every person we talked to, she just boasted about her little grandson being down to visit, and about me too, but mostly about Martyn. It was a lot of fun to watch her dote on Martyn in public. People are always curious about such a little baby, though to me he looks so big!

It was such a nice sunny day, and we actually stayed in the house most of the day except to venture to the store, and later in the evening mom took us on a tour of the garden in the back yard, and then after dinner mom and I (and Martyn) went for a walk. It was so nice!

It's only been a day and half, and I'm finding that I'm really enjoying just spending time with my Mama. Most times before when I would come visit San Diego, I would only visit with mom for a little while, and then want to go visit my friends the rest of the time. I am looking forward to visiting with my friends and family besides mom too, but this is the first time I'm happy to just visit with her....It feels like to me I've missed out on a lot of wisdom my mother has to offer because I've always been in a rush to do something else.
I'm finding, even after such a short period of being here, that Mom really does have a great cache of wisdom to offer, even if she is a little crazy. I suppose crazy just goes with the territory though, and I'm fine with that.
I hope that when Martyn is a young man, and brings his family to visit me and Eli, that he is ready and willing to accept any wisdom I may have to offer. I see Eli doing that with his mother (and father) and it makes me happy.
Between my mom, and his parents, we should have a great deal of good wisdom to pass down to our little Martyn, while he's still little and when he's not so little.
