Sometimes my parents are really cute

Like the time they bought a new couch, got rid of their old couch, decided they didn't like the new couch, and returned it - leaving them, for about six weeks before they made a decision on another couch, without much of any furniture to sit on in their living room. They were empty nesters at the time. They told me they were living on love - no couch needed.

While searching through some archived emails at work today, I stumbled upon this:

A couple of years ago my parents went to Yellowstone. My mom, in her pre-trip research, had discovered there was a webcam at Old Faithful. So when they got to Old Faithful they called me at work, and then they waved at me (or rather, they waved at the webcam, which I could see them on). They're the little blue and beige couple in the front (the only people facing the webcam, which everyone else appears obvlious to).

They just make me laugh sometimes. Once my co-worker, in trying to describe an adoptive couple she met with, described them as "your parents" - ultra-conservative, old at heart, reserved. Since she used the term "your parents" I was confused, and responded with: "My parents? That doesn't sound like my parents at all." :)
