That's the story in a short sentence from Mac, as we slowly walked home from the lake, 'it's been a wonderful day' and so it was...he had forgotten that I was away for a few hours...had a person from ClSC and Deb...so i could go and have a few hours with some great friends...but before i left, we went for a morning walk, which was so pleasant and peaceful, just around the park....and when i returned all happy to see him and him to see me....we walked down to the lake stopping on the way to pick up a take out for dinner (fish and chips ) which we ate at a picinic table overlooking lake st. louis...enjoying hearing two old men on a bench - one Greek the other italian..conversing in English, each helping the other to clarify their thoughts..it was a delight.....
Then on to see how the poor grounded and swamped sailboat was doing...sad to say, it's a sunken boat still after a week of trying to bail it out...mac, watching and listening and so on target ...what a delight it was...then we even managed to use the ladies room (together in a booth)...and tried to stop our giggles as we heard the lady in the next booth talk on her cell phone, she's lucky we didn't understand her French...we may have really laughed louder...that would have given her a shock to know there was a man in the next booth. Waiting till she left, then out we scampered, or should i say scampered like elderly people - ??
just in time to watch 200 people or more zumba dance...we were at the back so I did some joining in and surprise...there was Mac waving his arms and jigging around..he looked so cool, that a tiny little girl( looked to be about age 18 mos) joined him and as he clapped and waved to her she did the same to him...and how fun to see, another little one join in and the three of them were dancing to zumba music much to the amusement of their parents..and onlookers. But, we had to leave Mac's person who helps him get ready for bed comes at about 8;30 p.m....so we rushed along ...I said, Gee mac that was so sweet, wish i had a camera, those two little babies just loved you...he said "think they know i'm kind of like a kid now myself'...well ......as we continued our walk, a young woman came up to us asking "could you tell me how long you've been together" ....i said...take a guess, she said "45 to 50 years"..I said try 61...she said, well it shows...you are still lovers....i wish you 61 more years...well that was the end of a perfect day, as my young lover continued in his happy mood and is now sleeping, so g'nite.
