My Dad loves the weather. He will stay up each night just to watch the weather on the 10:00 newscast. Here's El Dorado's current weather. He spends what little free time he has hunting and tinkering around the farm. He rather enjoys creating a new wood masterpiece, but loathes finishing any started project. Mom spends her time looking through her magnified sewing light, producing works of art for others and pain to herself. The things she will do (and stitches re-stitched) to make a cross-stitch design "acceptable" to her. She teaches knitting, crocheting, cross-stitch, needlepoint, and embroidery for our 4-H club, and acts like a little kid when a new pattern book comes out, ie.. waiting at the grocery store for the next Batman comic book. It is rare that Mom can escape a day without reminding the lot of us about the dishes not being done and the living room floor picked up. They are both self-employed at the El Dorado Animal Clinic. Mom handles all of the finances and Dad gives her income and expense troubles without a care. These parents O' mine would walk that extra way for any of us, and that enables us to put up with all of their idiosyncracies.
Let's get back to Matthew's page.
