Dude, its Visitors!
It’s the times I look back on how many seasons the shows I grew up with have that make me feel old. The title reference for example.
At any rate, B and Kelly came up this weekend to see family and stayed with us! Amme and I aren’t the most exciting people right now, so we may or may not have kept them entertained, but we had a good time at least. They went to a flower show with Matt’s family and got us a little bamboo plant! I’d seen them before in Chinatown but never got one because we were so far from home. Its really cute and is sitting on a little shelf in the living room. They came up Saturday and got done visiting family around 6, so we decided to go find a restaurant with vegan options for them around Bangor. Little Lads Bakery shut down, very disappointing, so we went to a Pakistani restaurant that was very good. Some dishes were similar to Indian food, so Amme and I ordered samosas, lamb curry and rice, and naan. It was all really good, and the mood of the place was really neat. It even had some catchy native music playing.
After that we went home and watched some TV shows until we were too tired to keep our eyes open, and crashed for the night. The next day we relaxed for a while then went for a stroll in the woods but there was still a lot of snow on the trails so we ended up cutting it short. Not having gained very much energy despite sleeping in, we just lazed around the house until B and Kelly had to head home. After that Amme worked on her paper that was due and I worked on wikipedia and my TiddlyWiki for a while.
All in all, we had a really fun weekend and hope to see more of our friends soon!

“Makes me feel old” he sez. Hah. ;)
I remember when both your mother and I were in diapers. Along with that big irate black Persian cat. And the TV was black and white. And we had to walk twenty miles uphill to school, uphill both ways.
But the important part is to remember all your memories of your childhood, it helps you stay young. As Terry Pratchett said: inside every old person is a young person wondering what happened.
Remember that pen and blank book I gave you one xmas?

Hahaha very true. At least I know I’ll never feel *too* old. I’ll never tire of playing with toys, and will never be above having fun.
Do you mean the thick black one with a couple of alphabets and drawings in it? Yes I still have that at home. I drew a lot in it and wrote poetry in it as well. I also have the Titanic Tommy drawing you did for me! Its still fun to look at all the gadgets on it.
When I was younger I thought journals were for just for girls (that had cooties of course) but nowadays I wish I had written in one every night.
