After lunch Friday I returned to my sister's house so I'd be closer to the airport for my flight home the next day. It was a little hard to tell Dad goodbye. He is scheduled for surgery this week. My sister, her husband and I went out to supper so I could have a breaded pork tenderloin sandwich, something I have each time I visit the Midwest. They just don't seem to be available out here! Upon returning to their home Cyn and I looked through the pictures and papers I had brought from Dad's. What memories they provided us. We studied report cards from grade school--no, not ours, but Mom's and Dad's. In those days a student's height and weight were recorded each marking period. Can you imagine doing that today?
We talked quite a while before going to bed. The next morning I got up and ate breakfast, chatted a bit with my sister then left for the airport. The flight was delayed about 35 minutes, but since I had a two hour layover in Las Vegas, that wasn't an issue. What wonderful views of the snow-capped Rockies! And the red lands of Utah and Nevada with canyons and layered rocks were beautiful in their own way. It did seem like a very long flight, though, after all the two-hour trips to Phoenix last year.
I arrived on time in Oakland, and Randy picked me up promptly. I was thankful to sleep in my own bed last night.
Today we Facetimed with e and E. That little girl is so smart! She may not talk much yet but she certainly understands a lot. I'm ready to go see her again!
