It didn't really hit me until i saw my moms, yours and my number in the phone.neeeekole.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341308729189935273.post-41824869469314902542009-06-07T17:52:24.154-04:002009-06-07T17:52:24.154-04:00i was bummed on a trip back home to find the old d...i was bummed on a trip back home to find the old drive in movie theatre had been razed and replaced with a strip mall... yeah, we needed more nail salons, tanning establishments and payday loansharks...<br /><br />but bowling?

You can...May late wife tried to teach me to polka. You can do the polka steps to many country & western songs, did you know? Polka and fox-trot are the two staples of any rural hall dance in Alberta.<br /><br />Odd, but as I started the paragraph about polka's, and before I scrolled down to see the lyrics, the "Too Fat Polka" popped into my head. Weird.<br /><br />My second daughter loves to go bowling and goes with her friends now and then. In our town, the bowling alley has had a tough time making a go of it. It opens, it closes, it opens, it closes, changing owners every time. (Same with bingo nowadays. Can't compete, I guess.)<br /><br />Do you think it's an odd thing about our culture where we grow up and leave home to make our own way. I mean, really leave home? I've wondered, at times, how it came to pass that I've lived a long ways from my parents (now just my mom) for most of my life. Same for my in-laws. I know quite a few people who still live in the area where they were born. They see their parents weekly, if not more frequently. I wonder why it wasn't something for me; why I had to get away.<br /><br />I think I'll call my Mom today.Robhttp://tomeoftheunknownblogger.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341308729189935273.post-81344051664546517892009-06-07T05:37:14.251-04:002009-06-07T05:37:14.251-04:00I've been there myself pal.

The void never gets filled.<br /><br />I'm also sorry to hear about your Ma.<br /><br />Keep the faith.Barlinniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07555629852012324360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341308729189935273.post-17015019397722698342009-06-07T04:34:34.591-04:002009-06-07T04:34:34.591-04:00*hugs**hugs*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
