Yesterday, knowing that our daughter Glenna would be coming for dinner in the evening, I wanted to go over the names of our kids and kind of get him prepared to know or kind of know Glenna...So starting with - 'well you know we have five children, now adults, right/?" Answer by Mac, "you may have five kids, I don't" So just continuing on, I said, well there's Leslie, you know him eh?? "yes," then Gaye, he answered "Gaye,, yes'
Valerie, you know - she is the mother of Brianna, and our great grandbaby...- Finley...you know Finley...he replied, Finley, oh that little twerp..' ...well i just burst out laughing, and it still makes me smile and giggle, when i think of it...We continued on with Valerie, Glenna, and then Maureen, he seemed to be okay with hearing the names, but did not want to say them...so changed the subject..
Then when Glenna came, she was very good,she was working on our Cat Mischa, who being a long haired lazy cat..gets all kinds of knots and mats in his fur...so she was brushing him - using the electric razor on the big mats and generally causing the cat to be miserable and meowing..afterwards as she was just combing his fur and petting him to let him know she loved him...Mac got me to one side and said, "who let him do that, does the office know she is here"..and even when I tried to explain, Glenna was our daughter, a girl, and she was doing what was really needed to be done...Mac was not accepting that...'he has to stop - he should go, he should not be near the cat'...
Finally when he saw the cat was o,.k. and Glenna was actually having the cat purr and be friendly, he let up on his anger...I mentioned to Glenna, that he also had a little wine at lunch with our friends that were here for lunch, so that must stop, as i find that he does seem to become agitated and can show anger for small things..after having wine, .so that's a no no for sure...Actually my friend poured the wine without asking as mac always has his gingerale in a wine glass, so she was just doing it for everyone...i should have taken his glass, anyway, that's what I will do next time.
So in any case the little Twerp, Finley was here this evening, and as usual was her cute self, Mac enjoyed watching her, and even tried to pick her up, (too heavy for Mac). Later after she left, I mentioned how he had called her a little twerp the other day..."no i didn't...well not today I said - well he didn't remember that she was here today..and also didn't remember 'twerp', but that's the way it goes...at least he knows he loves her...and will enjoy her next time when she comes...and I will keep the memory of that sweet little twerp for sure....
Our life so is still great because of the little twerp and all of the family, not to forget our friends...and the people here...Stephanie his preposee tonight said to him - have a good weekend, see you monday...and he was so happy to say...Thank you...and have a good weekend...so that goes for the reader too - have a good weekend....g'nite.
