BLUE |
You give your love and friendship unconditionally. You enjoy long, thoughtful conversations rich in philosophy and spirituality. You are very loyal and intuitive.
Yes, I am a little blue today~ I had a really-and-truly senior moment yesterday.
As you know, Chris left for Colorado two weeks ago & was expected home last night . I took a half-day off work, going to the gym, grocery store, & then home to start dinner~ a rare occurrence. After putting the country ribs in the marinade & cracking the last of the crab, I took a nap (oh, what luxury!) before going for my hair appointment, leaving a short list of clean up tasks for Sam.
We had everything grilled & ready by 7:00 pm~ I had fresh asparagus & a big pitcher of ice tea to go along with dinner, turned on the A/C & fans to make it comfortable (it got up to 98° yesterday), & sat down to wait. By 8:00, I was beginning to wonder about the traffic & told Sam to go ahead & eat; at 8:30, I was thinking either the plane crashed & the airline hadn’t got around to calling families yet , or he stopped in at work, started talking, & forgot the time. So, at 8:45, I get up to call his cell phone & glance at the itinerary hanging on the calendar.
His flight was scheduled to land at 5:28 pm.
Today.
Not Wednesday.
When I told Sam, he chuckled kindly & said “Really? Cool~ I’m claiming his ribs.”
No jokes about my age, eyesight, or mental shortcomings.
You know, he’s always been my favorite.

I am sorry that you went through all the trouble and had the wrong date but I have to admit that your story is ever so funny. I've done similar things with wrong dates and times; you must be related to me. I hope today goes according to schedule and you have a fabulous weekend.
Oh no Meg! That is SOOOO something I would do!
Sam is such a nice kid!
Hi Meg,
LOL! I'm seem to always be asking what day it lately, so I can certainly relate to your story!
I'm not sure if you received my email, 'cause they don't always go through. The author of the books is Gail Fraser.
Also one of my nice blog readers, Kim, left you a short message on my blog. She's read the Lumbly books too.
Take care!
Oh bless your heart! I am so sorry! :(
