I have younger kids and I work as a homemaking dad. My oldest child is a junior. My youngest daughter is 9.  My 9 year old likes to watch TV. I worked 10 years in human services. My father helps watch the kids. My wife makes more money at her job. My children like to go shopping at Home Depot where my father used to be a manager. My wife and I can't retire for some time. I had been waiting for new furniture. I had customized the couch which is why it took so long. I like deep seat couches. I like to read.
My kids are grown and I'm 60 years old. My two kids are good, one is a lawyer, the other is a carpenter. I work as a librarian and plan to retire soon. Being a librarian is great. I would be happy to help my grandkids when I get them. Although, I don't have FaceBook. I like to learn new things. I am not familiar with deep seat couches. I have an old couch that has been reupholstered.
Since my family has had some time to enjoy the new couch, would you be interested in coming over to try it out? I would love to come try it out and see what the big deal about deep seat couches is all about! You're welcome to come by anytime, but be warned that you'll have to compete for couch space with my two kids, especially my little girl, who is perpetually glued to the boob tube. I'm sure they will let an old lady like me have a seat at the new couch! I'll tell them to play nicely with you. How did your new couch come out when you had it upholstered? Oh you know me! I can't tell the difference and a couch is a couch! Maybe trying out your couch will enlighten me to the world of couches! Ha! How's your job at the library going? Anything fun, exciting, or noteworthy? Working at the library is always a good time for me - familiar, friendly faces and a ton of knowledge for everyone! You should come visit at the library with your kids more. We will! My high-school aged kid has an English term paper due in a few weeks, so I'll have him drive over there to do some research.  I look forward to seeing him. I'll do my best with helping him on his paper! Helping students is one of my favorites as a librarian.  I appreciate that. Maybe you could ask him to help you learn to use Facebook. I bet your kids would get a kick out of their old mother messaging them on Facebook! That's an excellent idea! Once I retire, I'll need to catch up with people easily somehow. It's time I learn how to Facebook.
