Dear Fluther family; can you give me suggestions on how to entertain my dad's wife when she comes to visit in mid July?
She’s 68 (yes, only 8 years older than me) and last time she was here we actually took her camping…with all the comforts of home because we had a motor home. It was a pretty resounding success, considering she’d never been camping before! However, something tells me not to try it twice in a row. She has developed this “upper class” mentality, so I have to take that into consideration (even though she was a Kansas farm girl, born and raised) so now what? She’ll be here Saturday, Sunday, Monday, leaving Tuesday. Do we just have a barbecue in the back yard and hope none of the girl moms are in a psychological snit so they’re ignoring me (meaning I don’t get the see the kids either)? I’m envisioning an airy, open gazebo like this, with a mister running intermittently. Then I wanted to get a projector and show a movie outside.
I’m hoping all the kids can be there too, and we’ll have a couple of baby pools set up and water toys.
Or, we could go to the zoo.
Then I briefly got a wild hare to take her on a float trip down the Walnut! (No.)
The only thing I know for certain is we ARE taking her to the Rusty Barrell, in Ponca City for some of the best steak anyone has ever eaten.
Any suggestions? Remember, this is Kansas in July. It can get HOT!!
