The Friday Five

The Friday Five

Sometimes life happens, and you just sort of have to go with it. Here is my Friday Five explaining what happened to Savannah and me on Thursday morning.

  1. We woke up in our hotel room and when I went to Facebook to check on things, we saw a short video of Quinn jumping into his Daddy’s arms off the diving board. Savannah watched several times and was laughing and cooing about Quinn. Then she came over to me and said, “Oma, I’m homesick. Is it okay if we go home?” I looked at her little face and smiled. “Of course we can!” I said, and we called Mandy to make the arrangements. Then I went into packing mode.
  2. I packed all her laundry in a plastic garbage bag, and the rest of the stuff in her bag. All her treasures went into another tote with her Stuffed Bear, Pink, and her new stuffed animal, a baby seal. Then I packed my stuff, the food, cleared the room, arranged the car, and 2 hours and 15 minutes later, we arrived at Savannah’s home!
  3. This was actually a good thing for me. Jack had called to tell me we had no water, ad the repair man says we need a new control box, which controls our heat and hot water for the entire house. I think he needed me to be here to supply moral support for him.
  4. A very dear friend of ours also lost her battle with Breast Cancer. She was close to my age, a wonderfully, warm, woman, and I feel pretty sad about her loss. The Wake is tonight and her Funeral is tomorrow. I wish her family my very deepest condolences.
  5. After a very long drive, I arrived home, to my four thrilled dogs and a very happy husband!

So, although the trip did not end exactly as planned, it was good and perfect just the same. I think both Savannah and I are looking forward to our next trip!

  1. So sorry to hear about your neighbor. I will never forget the beautiful fireworks display her family sent off the Saturday of Amelia’s wedding. She was loved and will be missed.
