We had a great time in the city we visited yesterday. We decided to stay the night in a hotel alongside one of the airport’s runways (the busiest in the nation). I can’t explain why but there is something about watching the larger planes and jumbo jets glide through the sky and land and take off that both fascinates and soothes me deeply. I usually watch for long periods of time. I don’t share that with many people. Really just M and now S. Toss the bar, limousines, fancy restaurant and dance floor. I’ll choose the planes each time. Yep - I’m risqué.

We’ll be traveling home in the next hour and a half or so where I will drop S off and travel on down the road to meet up with M. I’ll be home early to late evening. It will be good to see her. I’ve missed her. The last time she came to visit, I was sick with pneumonia and really wanted to be in bed and asleep. I don’t count that as a true visit. I was afraid I might infect her so I didn’t hug her (and I’m a big hugger if you couldn’t tell). I merely shook her hand from arm’s length and stroked her hair. Ha! She has no idea how many hugs, arms around the shoulder and hand holding is coming her way. Fortunately, both S and M are tactile people as well.

This is just what the doctor ordered. Quality time with the two most important people in my world away from everything and everyone else.

It’s been a long time since I put down my load of responsibilities and had genuine fun where you lose track of time without my being hyper vigilant about what needed my attention next. I’ll have more of that please. Ideas are being batted about. I have kept mom lovingly cared for in my absence btw. I would and could do nothing less.

I’m checking in to say things are really good and to check up on everybody’s news. I am happy and relaxed. I can see that I have several private messages that I have yet to read. I will soon. I’m going to spend the next hour and a half watching the jumbo jets come in from overseas along with my morning coffee and some fresh fruit.

I hope everybody has a peaceful Saturday. Much love
