Maybe a visit?

Jane emailed me today with more questions about the EZ bake oven.  She didn't know how it heated.  OK I now know that Jane has not had young girls in her life!  I tried once more to explain the simple way it works; we will see!  LOL  She asked in the course of her email if we would ever be open to visiting Fiona.  It is a loooong commute for the kids and I but the short answer is yes.  The longer answer is that I am not willing to make this long trip and sit in a room in a school.  Because that kind of visit has negative memories for Rob.  Because he is naturally reticent and will just sit there and things will get awkward and ugly real quick.  *But* I think that if we can work this out so that she knows there is something fun we can do together near the school, this could work.   The very best visits we ever had were the ones Fiona still talks about on the phone.  Going and picking out pumpkins, buying hair care stuff, going mini golfing etc.  Those are memories she still holds onto. The times we sat together in a rec room, even when we brought games or art supplies, were never as positive. Amazingly, Jane is on board with that. She said if it happens that she would help craft a fun experience that we could share together.  I so love this woman. It is a long range plan.  But it is a possibility and it is exciting to think that it could happen.
