We were just heading out the door last night for Tithing Settlement and Home Teaching when my cell phone rang. It was The Granddaughter calling from the south - or is it east - or is it the south/east? Anyway, because of difficulties beyond her control, she had not made her flight connections coming home for the holiday. She had a new schedule: arriving here in the Salt Lake Valley @ midnight + 15 minutes. With the final leg of her journey leaving at 8:50 a.m.
We managed to content ourselves with our iPads until 11:30 (time to leave for the airport). What fun it was to see her and to share sleepy conversation on the drive home. To sleep (perchance to dream) at 1:30 this a.m., out of bed at 6:15 a.m., out the door at 6:45 a.m. arriving at the airport to a sense of dismay at the l-o-n-g line for security. She made it through in pretty quick time, we stopped for french toast at Kneaders on the way home; it is 9:30 a.m., we've been out and about, watched the sun rise (my absolute favorite time of the day!), eaten, showered and the day has barely begun.
Spending time with those we cherish: always the best way to begin anything.
Now it is on to the cooking, baking, cooking, cleaning, preparing, baking, cooking for the big day tomorrow. Hoping all goes well.
And if I'm lucky: a quick nap!
