Day 1 I went to ATL to get them and Linda called me when they headed to the tram. I thought “ok I’ll go sit in the line” nope. I was moved along rather quickly and the NEXT time they moved me on I was passing them on their way out of the elevator area. Oops! Good news is that it’s a quick circle around to them again! Yay!! Zip zip and you’re back. The cellphone lot has moved as well and no longer is next to the ru way but at the END of the runway do a smidge louder and not as fu. To sit and watch takeoffs. Oh well. I talked to David for a bit until I started going around in circles waiting for them to come out ;)
We ate dinner at Gambino’s Mexican It always makes me chuckle because the name is so Italian. Oh well they have good food and an OK bathroom.
We got home at a decent hour and everyone settled in.
I had Marja’s funeral to attend. And it went fairly well. I just cried a little. Grace (her daughter) and Earl (her husband) were stoic. I wonder how people do that? I can NOT blubbered through dad’s funeral :(. We (Butch and I) didn’t stay for the service just the open house as I had things going on. I’m sure Marja would have understood.
The plant party was a success. Lots of food consumed and what wasn't is getting eaten still to this day! I had some of the cheese with lunch :)
It was awesome to have mom at the end of the hall. I popped in on her to chat and visit (no escape!!)
And as usual we find beds as the BEST place to visit and chat ;)
We went to Liz’s house after Brunch in Macon in Sunday. Even mom made it upstairs to check out the whole house. Yay her!
We had a good lunch and a short stop over at Barbara’s to pick up some socks as well. Mom now has more fluffy socks to keep her toes warm! Linda’s gotten really good at ensuring we have pictures because I sure didn’t. I have taken less and less photos as the years progress. Not sure why!!
My skills are still required to put people into photos with photoshop however :)
After these adventures we went back to the house where most took a nap.
And mom with her new fuzzy socks :)
Monday I drove mom around to see all the old sights. We went to Striplin’s to get some sausage and then to Groom to get tickets transferred to me since I picked them up at the airport and they were non-refundable. I took that as my sign to buy them from Linda and shuttle to my flights this week. Decision made :) the transfer was easy enough to get done.
It was a great visit and I’m glad I’m able to have mom here and care for her a bit! Next week I’m going to Utah so it’s sort of funny that they were JUST here. I’m not changing plans. Still going to Utah for the week. It will be fun. Even David will be there !
