Well, he was eager to get back in competition, but he ended up not being at all happy with the times he posted, so perhaps he was favoring the ankle, did have some trepidation, which his mother doesn't mind, indeed his mother thinks that is only wise!<br /><br />ellen, you know, you are probably right! i never connected that!37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-10940742849869314382011-04-11T09:08:34.860-04:002011-04-11T09:08:34.860-04:00So glad your son's ankle is doing better and h...So glad your son's ankle is doing better and he's able to get back into things.<br /><br />This story reminded me a bit of your brother making friends when you two were little and living in England; is your son much like your brother, do you think? Making friends wherever he goes. :)~ellen~https://www.blogger.com/profile/00315658592077559215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-36389626828110410482011-04-10T14:18:16.616-04:002011-04-10T14:18:16.616-04:00I must tell you how much I enjoy your posts.

I seem to always feel like I am rushing from one thing to another with obligations (papers to write, chapters to read, cleaning house, sleeping, whatever...) but then I stop by 37 Paddington and breath. You slow me down somehow and make me take the time to just be. So, thanks for that. Maybe the fact that you share your reflections with such clarity makes me want to do the same. <br /><br />Did your son have any trepidation about getting back into the swing of things?Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715784900659276067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-86345959007938110112011-04-10T11:38:47.969-04:002011-04-10T11:38:47.969-04:00Ms. Moon, i love that you get where my head is.

In fact, I know it is so.

Your children are just so heart-warmingly lovely. <br />Secondly- My grandfather was from somewhere in PA and although I know it's not true for the entire state, whenever we went up there for a reunion, I always felt so out of place. Yes, I'm white but dammit, I have always lived in places where there are many colors of humans and that's the way I like it. I call Pennsylvania the "anti-Caribbean" and I am SO glad my grandfather traveled south to eventually live.Ms. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-43373677151760630832011-04-10T08:44:50.888-04:002011-04-10T08:44:50.888-04:00Elizabeth, when you write about life in your house...Elizabeth, when you write about life in your household, it brings back memories of my boy at the ages your sons are now.
