A date with Kate

Looking back on my life, I often wish that I had taken dozens of opportunities to date my daughters as children in the home. Occasionally, such an opportunity comes along later. In a way, such an opportunity came to me on Saturday.

Kate was finishing up her house-hunting trip on Saturday. She and Grandpa H and seen one Friday that she wanted to visit again. I was hesitant to go along because I have such a long to-do list but my wonderful Sweetheart sent me on my way.

Aside from the specific goals (which she can tell you about better than I) I had a great time visiting. Some of the things we discussed were fun and some brought back memories of the difficult times. Looking at the house together was fun. It did bring back memories of when Judith and I did our first apartment hunt 17 years ago. And the fact that the neighborhood the house is in is the exact neighborhood in which her Mother and I first owned brought back memories. And, once we picked up Grandpa H more memories were created and more brought to mind.

Thank you Kate.
