Aunt Ruth C came over today. She played with Bennett and chatted with me. Zeus and I jogged up to Scott's tower 3 miles. Ruth helped me figure out which of Ruth's handmade sweaters should go to which close friends. Ruth C is my sounding board now - it is hard I am not good at several friends. I rely heavily on one or two- I have always been this way.
Ruth C also taught B to say "the dingo ate your baby!" She is saying it now while playing on the ipad.
A good friend is a wonderful gift.
ReplyDeleteA few good friends like Ruth are what is needed. Can B say the phrase with the cheesy accent?

I don't know what came over me to offer that up--some shenanigans Bennett was pulling--but she latched onto it an wouldn't let go. I think what really committed her to mastering it, though, was her observation of the effect the YouTube video clip had on Pat-- uncontrollable cracking-up laughter! I can't wait to see how she's developed her act: when I left, she was really digging in on practicing the accent, and emphasis!
ReplyDeletePat, I am so grateful to have your company and friendship. Hope to have a chat tomorrow morning, for sure.
Lots of love,
Ruth
Pat, I have always felt that you and Ruth chose great friends: smart, artistic, funny, carrying people. And I've been so grateful you've had them nearby during Ruth's cancer and since her death. Much love! Jim
