Selfie With Our Son Tom's Family |
There's not much to say about yesterday's eight-hour drive from Dallas to Lee's Summit, a suburb of Kansas City. This is the third time in three year's that we have made this drive yet it never seems very familiar, perhaps because the landscape does not change much during the 500 mile drive.
Oklahoma's Welcome Center |
We arrived at my son Tom's house just about 4:00. We let ourselves in because they were at a Missouri/Arkansas football game party. We were able to get unpacked before they texted to say they were on their way around 4:15. They all look great, Nick back from college for a few days, Marlena, now a 9th grader and tennis player at the local high school. We were able to get caught up on all their busy lives, with Tom's work, the kid's school and Mary being a busy Mom. I forgot to mention Bella, their dog, who seems to recognize both Evie and I and quickly jumps up on our laps to be petted. I love other people's dogs.
Evie And Marlena And Nick |
After dinner, Evie mentioned a movie that she thought everyone would like, a romantic comedy called THE BIG SICK. Other than using the f-word about 50 times, we figured it was an appropriate film for a 9th grader like Marlena and it was our other granddaughter's Marisa's favorite current film. And, I think, everyone did like it, even Nick our sophomore in college. By the time it was over, it was 10:30 and we were all ready for bed except for Nick. His friend from high school and college came over and they were going to play video games.
