I was there to spend time with family.
I was not there to judge, the housekeeping, the house, the food, the dog, the politeness of the kids.
I am delighted to see you as you are, where you are, just as you are.
I don't care if the dog barks, or the cat sheds, or the baby fusses, or there are toys are on the floor. Those are all signs of a perfectly wonderful life.
When you come to visit me, and please do, don't expect me to make my bed, dust or clean off my desk. I don't live like that, and you are not here to judge my home, you are here to spend time with family.
You probably do many things differently than I do, that is just fine, do it your way, you are you.
Travel Penguin stayed in his travel burro most of this trip. He didn't greet his distant cousins - they smelled like dead fish - but we really didn't care - we were not there to judge the housekeeping, we were there to spend time with family and friends.
Great photos -- yes, I see the family resemblance!
ReplyDeleteThere is a fu zoo in Ft Wayne.
DeleteThe visit and the connection is the important thing. Love those penguins.
ReplyDeleteIt was great to see family.
DeleteIt's all about the visit, the connections, and making memories. Sounds like you had a wonderful few days with your family.
ReplyDeleteI did, I hope one of them didn't spend to much time trying to make the house perfect.
DeleteSpending time together is what counts.
ReplyDeleteFeel free to kick your shoes off and get comfortable.
DeleteHow on earth a penguin shacked up with a hamster is beyond me. A wolf and a hyena - yes, even a cat and a dog but a penguin and a hamster sounds like a massive fracture in evolutionary development. Do hamsters even like fish?
ReplyDeletePenguins like warm and fuzzy.
DeleteI just don't know....the dead fish smell....I can't over look that. Lol!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCute!
My sister worked at the Zoo last summer, the staff refer to that section as the stinky birds.
DeleteI never care about how others live, the dogs or cats or any of that stuff; it's the visit that matters.
ReplyDeleteThat said, I make the bed every single day and the house is generally very clean.
I make my bed once every year or so.
DeleteAnd yet, sometimes there is a joy in the preparation for receiving guests. Sometimes you will do things for your friends and family that you might not do for yourself on any random Thursday.
