Madison has her first official dance recital next month on the 17th. We have been looking forward to it since September - and it's almost here!
She and I ran into one of my old Jr High boyfriends in the grocery store last night and we stopped to talked. His Mother passed away last year and I offered my condolences. It was nice to talk to him, he still lives in the same neighborhood and I live right down the road from my parent's neighborhood. He talked to Madison, asked her how old she was etc. Then he said "Wow, I can't believe you have a little girl" I tartly replied "Why because i'll be 42 this year?". He said "No, because I still see the same girl you were in 8th grade that used to go to the Time Trials with me at Darlington". I started laughing and said "Oh Mark take off those beer goggles boy" and he said "No, you look the same to me". Then Madison started pestering me to go as three year olds will and we said our good-byes and left. It was strange yet nice. Was he a great love of mine? No. He was a neighborhood boy and you know how that goes. We went through Junior High and Highschool together. Our school was small, you see the same people etc. That's all. He was familiar and sometimes familiar is comforting.
