So last night Mom and Dad were at our house. I had stopped by their house after work to pick up Mom’s carpet cleaner (Dixie had been sick over the weekend and I wanted to clean the carpets in the house anyways) and since Dad was going to watch a rec league basketball game (his work has a team, he was going to watch them) Mom didn’t want to be home all alone so she asked if she could come over. I was shocked and sent Barry a text to let him know while everyone got ready.
Barry was wonderful! He washed the dishes that were left in the sink, he made the bed, and did a few other things to make sure the house was all prettied up. When I got there with Mom and the carpet cleaner he came out to help as usual. When we got inside Scotty did his usual hide and bark until Mom brought out some doggie treats and lured him out. She had met Dixie once before, but then again Dixie loves everyone as long as they will pet her. 
We all chatted for a while, and then Barry and I started making dinner. We made chicken fettucine alfredo with pigs in a blanket on the side. Dinner was yummy, and when we got done eating Dad dropped by for a few and then took Mom home. I sent a plate of food home with Dad since he missed dinner, I hope they both enjoyed my cooking. Barry and I did, as did the little ones, so that is what matters most to me. It’s the second time Mom has been over since everything got pretty much settled in back in late April ’10. The last time Mom and Dad were there together I think the furniture was still being delivered.
Dad aggravated Scotty and petted Dixie, talked a little about the game, then took Mom and his plate of food home.
After Mom and Dad left, Barry and I settled in to watch some TV and relax. We watched the last couple episodes of The Next Great Baker, then some American Dad and I fell asleep during Family Guy. We think the visit went well, I hope Mom and Dad feel the same. I guess time will tell.
