Turning into a geezer

This morning, my daughter Claire, 29, kindly sent me photos while on her honeymoon in Mexico with her husband, Matt, 35. They were married a year ago. Immediately, I turned into a geezer.

"What the hell is that on her hip?" I thought. "Hope it washes off." Of course it's a tattoo.

I noted approvingly that Matt is carrying a water bottle. They have good traction with tennis shoes. And both are carrying packs. I trained her well. (Note I'm taking credit.) We began hiking together when she was four.

After thanking Claire, I complained she doesn't send me enough photos. "Now I have two photos of you and Matt in 2019. Keep the photos coming, please."

Claire responded with grace. "I will send you photos of us from the past year when I get home, love you!"

"You've turned into an obnoxious geezer, Kathleen," I thought. "Put a cork in it."

Is she feeding the fish? IS that something that is done in mexico?

@ demifeministgal

You're right, it looks like Claire is feeding the fish.

My parents started complaining about not hearing from me enough since my first summer at a sleepaway camp. It was true then, and remains true to this day, that my communications were/are far fewer than they’d have liked. My 97-year-old dad still complains about it.
