May 3, 2013. Jackson, Mississippi. Wimps.

We have become wimps in our old age.    Where once we went out in any weather, like any good Canadian does, now we stay home in any inclement weather.    We have become fair weather friends.  

This morning I had an appointment with the eye doctor.  The weather was miserable with heavy rain and cool temperatures.   On the way home, I suggested to Ken that rather than joining Andrew and Christina and the girls for left over hamburgers tonight as was our plan, we should stay home in the condo for the rest of the day.   He agreed so I called to tell Christina that we would come to see them tomorrow.   She laughed and agreed that with all the rain, the best place to be was at home.

It is still raining but our home is warm and cosy and we are happy to stay here for the rest of the day, even though we know we are wimps.   Our fridge is full as well as the pantry so we are in good shape. The Canada Geese are honking right outside our door,  probably complaining about all the rain too.  But they can not go in out of the rain, like me, even though they seem happy.  They are not wimps for sure.
