Some people will argue there are the good kind of secrets, the white lie kind which enable 'surprises.' Yet, what is left unsaid leading up to that surprise may cause some mal feelings. You know like lack of communication for fear of letting the cat out of the bag. From as far back as my memory allows there have always been secrets about birthdays. So much so one almost expects a surprise and may even be disappointed if one doesn't happen.
Mother's Day 2014 visit was a surprise even tho' I told them. |
So why am I mentioning this?
Well, today's my Dad's birthday and I spent last night at my brother Marc's about 10 minutes from my folks's house without my Dad supposedly knowing I am in town.
Here's the plan. Brother Marc will take my Dad fishing early ( Of course that's when the fish bite) and when they return, dah dah, I'll be at the house awaiting his return. SURPRISE.
Happy 89th Birthday Dad and many more!
May 2014, Mother's Day weekend |
You're a sneaky one!
