And It Finally Begins

Yippee

5:57

It's 8:05 and I am sitting in the living room with Beth and Evie, talking about Beth and Rami's exciting move to a ninth-floor apartment near downtown Dallas, a new phase in their many moves.  I paddled for about forty-five minutes on a gray lake, with an overcast sky and was basically alone as the weather must have discouraged the fishermen. 

Kayak Morning

Exploring Woodlawn

Wednesday was a busy morning because I was driving to the airport to pick up Beth and Marisa, leaving around noon, and we wanted to make sure we have everything for the next few days.  So after my paddle, Evie drove off to Wegmans, again, to buy groceries and I accomplished few things in the house, like hanging a rack in the utility room that had fallen and cleaning out the garage, making sure it was organized. When Evie returned, I helped unload the car and put things away, then showered, had a chicken sandwich for lunch, and was on my way to Buffalo by 12:15.

Herons Among The Hostas

First Hydrangea Blossom 

The configuration of the airport has changed so that there is hardly a lounge area to wait for arriving passengers.  In fact, there were only a few people waiting for Beth's flight from Dallas. They arrived ten minutes early, waited 15 minutes to get their bag and we were on our way home by 2:45.  We stopped in Mayville at the Lighthouse to pick up a family favorite, peameal bacon and were home around 4:00. We got them situated, then sat on the front porch, enjoying a glass of wine on our front porch as the sky darkened, and we heard distant thunder before it started to rain.  

First Supper

We had baked halibut with a panko/lemon sauce for dinner, along with spinach, rice, and a salad, healthy dinner for our girls.  Not only is Beth excited about their move, but Marisa is also excited about matriculating to Vanderbilt in Nashville in August, big changes for both.  We decided to watch something on TV and settled on a documentary on the singer Pink on Prime Video.  It concentrated too much on her tour and her two children, not enough on the concerts and two hundred and fifty people involved in the shows.
