We have a surprise today. Holly called and said that her mother was coming to Annapolis for a visit. And she wanted to get together. Great! Well, they were supposed to come yesterday, but got caught in a massive traffic jam on the beltway ~ they are driving over from Reston, VA. So after hours in the car with grandbabies, they managed to turn around and go back to Reston. Holly was driving to Reston this morning to pick up her Mom, no grandbabies. I offered wine, gin and tonics and shrimp to provide needed pick- me -ups to continue to Annapolis. I get the feeling that driving to Reston and back is like the trek to the great West via the Donner Pass.
Anyway, it will be nice for Mom to visit with Diane Stevenson.
And, we are going to the grocery store. I cannot wait. Mom wrote a list - I think she has a basic list that she uses whether she needs onions or not. Onions are on the list. We have five pounds of them in the wire/metal stand that is now in the kitchen - I will take a picture. It is a hazard. Someone is going to trip over it. I just hope it is not me.
Ok ~ sorry I did not get this out in a timely manner. I started it Friday and today is Monday. I have been not feeling well ~ I have vertigo and it is miserable. I have been flat on my back for two days with my two fur coats lying as close as they can get.
Amy has been fantastic and coming over to take the dogs out and to throw the toy for Bennett. And she is going to take mom out. Win Win for everyone.
And, Mom LOVED the visit with Diane Stevenson! We all ended up at Kilarney House for dinner ~ lots of wine, lots of laughter ~ it was terrific. I even told them I would drive mom to Williamsburg to visit Diane. I do love a roadtrip!
Hopefully, I will get rid of this vertigo and get back to normal.
