Sleeping, Sleeping

Yesterday, you would have thought a sprite sprinkled fairy dust on us all--we just slept and slept. I was up at 3:30 am to take Bill to the airport, and of course when we got there at 5 am, they told us his flight was delayed two hours. We went out to breakfast, and then I dropped him off for his interminable wait, and zipped back to Rogersville to take Juli and Kerne to the dentist.

By noon, we three were dragging, so we went home, changed sheets and exchanged beds and everyone collapsed. We got up in time to scrounge leftovers from the fridge, and then once again, flopped into our beds for another 12 hours of snoozing.

Bill is in the never-never land of the International Date Line, presumably still winging his way to Japan. I expect to hear from him tomorrow. The big trick will be if his seabags made the trip too, what with the delays and all.

I had hoped to work in the garden today, but it's kind of a gloomy day here, so we will probably just flake out, watch movies, play board games and bake cookies.

Not a bad way to spend a day.

You do not know me personally, I am Elinor Sink's daughter, Carol. I wanted to share that your blog gave mother a great deal of enjoyment and laughter and tears. The blog entries that made her laugh she insisted that I read and I too roared until tears were rolling down my cheeks. The dog walk that ended with you risking your life to prevent him from going over the cliff was one of our favorite. Thank you for sharing your times and trials in Tennessee or where ever you land. Your talent give mother hours of sheer enjoyment. Even in the hospital, I copied them and sent them to her or read them to her via the phone. I do have a tendency to get verbose. Thank you again.
