Duck Friday

May 16, 2014 by Beth Shepherd

Splish, splash
I was takin’ a bath
Long about a Saturday night… yeah!
Rub-a-dub
Just relaxin’ in the tub
Thinkin’ everything was all right.

Well… I stepped out the tub
Put my feet on the floor
I wrapped the towel around me
And I opened the door.

And… then-a… splish, splash
I jumped back in the bath
Well… how was I to know
There was a party going on.

~Splish Splash, Bobby Darin

At our house, Friday is ‘Duck Friday.’ Ducks only. In the tub.

Some might fend off a mid-life crisis by leaving the comforts of their corporate salary to jet off to a deserted island. Others might buy a Jaguar. I’ve chosen to dive head-long into my 50s and beyond by becoming a first-time parent. At any given moment you might find me holding a camera, a spade, a spatula or a suitcase. Or my little girl's hand. Adopted from Armenia, she puts the Pampers and Paklava into my life.
