The Adventure - Day 1

I'm not sure I can really call today's junket an adventure. Going through an on-line ticketing agent my Sweetie, who loves to get a deal, found us a flight to Tulsa, via Charlotte, and Houston. Just a little bit of a round robin route. We found out yesterday when picking our seat assignments (which couldn't be done til 24 hours before which basically meant all the good seats (i.e. free) were taken.) We will be sitting in what the airline refers to as "choice" seats. Mainly because we can choose to pay $26.00 a piece or not fly at all. And in case you're wondering, the answer is yes. We do have to pay for checked luggage and probably a bag of peanuts and a coke. Except for the soda, this shouldn't be a problem. We have stuffed carry on luggage to its maximum capacity and I have enough snacks stowed away that should we get lost enroute, we will not starve.

It is a little surprising that I'm sitting hear writing on the computer when normally I'm running around helter skelter, picture Chicken Little, "the sky is falling". Sweetie is checking everything twice. I'm practicing NOT being in control. That said, I do still have shoes to put on, a last trip to the bathroom, the dog to console and cats to treat. So I'm going to sign off.

Today I'm grateful for new vistas.

Stay tuned,
Merry ME

Now I have visions of you somewhere in America with no shoes but a cat and dog sitting on each foot, and some lonely pumps back home!

Like a lot of others, I felt like the...

An Easter Miracle

How is it that after someone you love dies, time moves on even when it feel like its standing still? Philosophers, poets and writers have tried to answer that question since time began. I don't have the answer. I just know that, by what I can only imagine is the Grace of God, it does. When you heart is broken into something resembling a 1000 piece jig saw puzzle and there are no directions on how to put it together, somehow it mends. When some else dies and it cracks again, God stitches the old wound and the new wound together into a patchwork of healed scars. Fifteen years ago, when I watched my mother draw a breath then counted the seconds before she took another but none came, I sat by her bed and tried to imagine being a motherless child. Then I did what any kid would do, ran down the long hospital corridor sounding the alarm. "My mother isn't breathing." "My mother isn't breathing."  Want to see doctors, nurses, CNAs, and cleaning ladies tur...
