Well, this time Kelly’s flight took off as scheduled. She has left Texas for her new Ohio home. I miss her already.
But, in the “never a dull moment” department, I once again got an unplanned bonus day of fun. Roxy and Damaris had been intending to stay with us only one night and then resume their journey to Florida. But, after a wonderful relaxing evening, and a bloody mary morning, the three of us conceived an entirely new plan. They would run to Scarborough, accomplishing a necessary errand, visit with some folks, and come back here for dinner and one more night with us! Yay! And, the most fun part was that we wanted to surprise Kyle.
While they were gone, I was able to do a little cleaning and a little work, and the girls got back in plenty of time, so that when Kyle came in and saw Bashi (Damaris’ dog and Cormac and ‘Tia’s new playmate) and then saw the girls, he was both pleased and surprised. (They even parked their car across the street so he would be less likely to notice the Colorado plates!) We went back to No Frills for dinner and this time it was Tuesday night and the trivia was super fun. We joined Brett and Jill and Derek and together we were a trivia team to be reckoned with, for sure!
My photo today, taken while the girls were away, is of one of the royal purple trims that will likely get used on our queen’s new gown for Scarborough Renaissance Festival. That is, unless her ladyship changes her mind on fabrics and the colours end up not working as I wish. Right now, work has not yet begun on it, so anything is possible!
