My flight Thursday was about 45 minutes late, but Sarah was waiting for me. We drove right to her rented condo, where Erik was already home from work. He soon left for an event he had, and Sarah and I ate her home-made turkey soup while watching the movie "Wild." I was reading the book on my iPad, so I enjoyed seeing what Hollywood did with the story of a young woman backpacking alone on the Pacific Coast Trail a few years ago. We went to bed pretty early. Since I was sleeping in the room with the cat's box, I had to leave the door open in case Mo needed to use it. As I began to drift off to dreamland, I felt something licking my hand and sat up abruptly, which startled Mo. But after that she didn't bother me.
Friday morning the two of us went to Sprout's to buy produce and other groceries, stopping at Stater Bros on the way home for meat and a couple more items. She's beginning a new nutrition plan and made an egg/sausage/vegetable recipe for lunch, which we enjoyed with watermelon while watching an old Star Trek episode. Earlier that morning I had posted a picture of Sarah, Mo, and me which led E to mention tribbles, so Sarah pulled up "The Trouble with Tribbles" on Netflix for our lunchtime viewing. I noticed a few new details; I guess having a large, flat-screen TV can make things more visible. After doing more food-prep and cleaning up the kitchen Sarah took a nap and I worked on a Charles Wysocki puzzle. We all headed north to Solana Beach and Pizza Port for supper. What a noisy restaurant! But the pizza was tasty.
Saturday morning we finished the puzzle and watched a Food Truck reality show. Interesting! After lunch Sarah and I worked on the design of her latest quilt project, then went to Beverly's for fabric to do borders and binding. I think this lap quilt will be lovely on their chocolate brown couch. About 4:30 we headed to the airport, where I had a turkey sandwich and waited for my flight home. The plane was on time, and I arrived home about 8:20.
Lovely visit, short but sweet. We had talked about going to Balboa Park to visit a museum or two, but I was just as happy to see Sarah doing her shopping and cooking, packing up single-servings to take to work, and resting on her days off. One thing I enjoy about visiting our adult children is seeing them taking care of things, cooking, planning, being grown-ups.
Today I'm doing laundry and a bit of piano practice.
Where did you post a picture of you, Sarah, and Mo? I missed it!
