We are on holidays. Actually more accurately, Levi is on holiday and I am having a few days off here and there. There is a difference in the air though. This morning, instead of having to get up early and get ready for soccer, we slept in and woke slowly. I was looking after some friend's kids all day, so Levi had buddies all day. They ran around and played. They all sat down for a sausage sizzle lunch. In Levi's expert and obviously well studied opinion, the difference between sausages for lunch and a 'sausage sizzle' is the bread. Pretty much, if there is bread involved, then it is a sizzle.
I painted shirts most of the day. I am painting a medieval dragon on some gray shirts (chain mail) for the kids. It is quite difficult because parts need to dry before you can start on the next bit. I will post pictures of the finished results. They have their Kid's day in about a week and a half time, but I don't have a lot of time between now and then to get those sorts of things done. Namely things that I don't really need Levi helping me for. So I have to have free time at home and Levi entertained at the same time!
Last night we both went to dinner. It was a different group of people this time and although they both have kids Levi's age, these friends were not made directly through Levi's friendships. Interestingly they asked about Frank and I found myself telling them more than I usually do. Normally I just stop after a simple explanation but they kept asking questions; about Frankie, about USA, about my life before I arrived at Samford. It made me realize that I should spend more time giving Frankie to people who care. Give them more of Frankie. Give them more of me! I think there is little you could do to separate him from me now anyway.
