Okay, so we live in a pretty fantastic area. Right? Lots of stuff to do, great people, beautiful landscaping. At least, that’s what they tell me.
I do like the city, but 7 years later, I’m still trying to locate this “lots of stuff to do” I keep hearing about. I mean, for my kids… not Hannah’s or China Blue kind of “stuff to do.” Unless, of course, you live in the 50’s and it’s perfectly acceptable to give your children a shot of whiskey to end the sniffles or make a long night instantly a restful one. I believe these were referred to as “the good ol’ days” and it suddenly dawned on me why.
I have no intention of spending my time writing this post remising about how when I was little, my mom would throw a coat on my back, send me out the door and say “see ya at dinner”, or how I knew every family that lived in my neighborhood and – maybe more importantly – who didn’t. Those days are gone now and we‘re left with pulling out the ol‘ day planner whenever the possibility of a play date is discussed. Sigh.
So, Boise moms, I ask you… Any of you know something that I don’t? Oh, please say that you do. Tell the rest of us “fuddy duddys” where the party’s at… so to speak.
