Time flies

Where does time go?  I've had good intentions...I last posted here on February 4, from Phoenix.  We had hoped to visit the zoo that day but had to wait for a delivery; when it finally arrived e was about to go down for her nap.  So we saved the zoo for Friday.  E and I finished a jigsaw puzzle and talked about her work, house, trips she hopes to take, in general had a lovely afternoon.  At the zoo e walked among the goats at the petting zoo, touching a couple but mostly just looking.  I think she enjoyed the giraffes, pointing at the picture of the tall animals then pointing at the actual ones.  A connection was made!  Back at home e and I played "Chase the Little Girl," or was it "Chase Grandma"?  Round and around the kitchen island we went, always just out of sight of each other, till one of us reversed direction and caught the other.  One big step, I think, is e learning to blow her nose, important because she has had a cold ever since she started daycare.  If you don't catch her soon enough, a giant sneeze releases a river of mucous (to put it politely) over her mouth and chin.

Saturday morning we ate breakfast at the "Black Bear" diner, where the portions are gigantic!  Soon after, K left for the Phoenix Open; one of his golf buddies had won two tickets and invited K to join him at the 17th hole.  We kept e up after lunch, hoping she would sleep in the car as we made the trip to the airport, and she did.  I arrived home in time for supper.
