The Detroit Marathon has come and gone (hah!) and I have to say the day was grand, a cold, early start notwithstanding. Mom got up in plenty of time for it, insisting all day Saturday that she wanted to see it.
She was quite pleased. Dressed up for winter and even draping a quilt around her, she sat for the the entire 45 minutes it took for the runners and walkers and bicyclists to pass. "This is nice!" she said constantly, waving regularly at the participants.
It especially pleased her to hear people shout compliments about the Halloween decorations spread about the lawn. "I'm glad they like Sammy's yard," she remarked several times. Moms appreciate when their kids are appreciated.
On that note, one woman took a minute to say to Sam directly, "You have a very sincere pumpkin patch." He always has pumpkins all over the place. And Charlie Brown fans surely appreciate the compliment.
