Saturday: My flight was ON TIME--we actually took off a few minutes early from St. Petersburg. What a totally packed plane it was too! I always reserve a window seat, so I enjoyed watching the sun rise while we took off ...
Can you see the little circle surrounded by light just below the wing of the plane? I think it is the plane's shadow being reflected against the clouds by the sun! The flight was completely unremarkable, and landed at GRR about 15 minutes early. Jesse was already waiting for me in the "cell lot" outside the airport. Thank you for being my chauffeur, Jesse!
For some reason, it's always good to get home. I love my little house. Look at the beautiful flowers Kelly had picked up for me the Tuesday before my trip. I wondered if they would still be pretty when I returned home, and they were. I removed a few dead flowers, freshened up the water, and had four more days to enjoy them before they died.
Now it was time to unpack my suitcase and my backpack (which is actually bigger than the suitcase) which I did right after I ate lunch. It always feels good to unpack, do laundry, and get back to "normal."
It was wonderful being with my brother for nine days. He has always been such a good gift to me. Even when we were really young and I had to "babysit" him, or mom would say: "Go play with your brother!" he was never a burden or a problem. He just has one of those fun personalities that is great to be around. I most likely will not see him again until he comes north over Labor Day weekend. If I do see him before then, it will mean someone has died--so I guess I need to just look forward to September, even though it seems far away. Love to you, David.
