Brandon's coming home

It’s that time of the year where I am blessed to have my son home to spend time.  Three things I’ve been waiting to see:  Bodies, Frog Bog and “The Dark Knight”.  We’ll re-watch some of our favorites or rather he’ll watch them while I fall asleep.  He’s really good about that.  Things sure are boring when he’s not around.  Oh, God, here comes melancholy.  My blog, my right.  We don’t get to make very many memories anymore.  Mine are mostly work, except for the crochet games at Mom and Dad’s that were funny.  Damnedest thing….I used to be really good, now I just suck!  It’s a lot more fun since I don’t take it serious and Alicia and I started making up our own rules.  Nancy called us on it but I don’t know why she was worried…..she won.  This is what he’s missing.  Memories made with family.  Maybe some day he’ll want to be close again.  In the meantime he’ll be here for three weeks and it will feel like home.
