Home Again

The children asked me to make cookies on Saturday. We didn't get them mixed up until just before bedtime, so into the fridge went the dough. After lunch today, we pulled it out and they made up some yummy cookies. After dinner, they decorated them.

I gave a bag of frosting to each of the children, reddish & yellow to TJ, pink to MissA, purple for MissB, and MissC loves blue. I even got to help decorate my cookies for Ben:

Almost Foreign

Ben's in New York to attend a wedding. Friday, he set his alarm for 4 o'clock to get to the airport & through security in time for his 6:20AM flight. I woke to a gray dawn and suddenly asked, "Is it 4?" Ben was out of bed so quick! 5:50! We got ready, prayed, and drove to the airport, arriving about 6:20. His return flight is from terminal A, and I dropped him there.. One should always double check, he was flying out of terminal B! He ran, I had already driven away. It turned out his flight was cancelled & passengers deplaned & he was in line with the fellow passengers rebooking. The airport bused them up to SFO for an 8:30 flight.

He called from Atlanta, & again when he arrived safe in New York.

Sunday morning, Ben was able to take in the scenery. 9 story brick buildings, wouldn't stand our earthquakes! St. Mary's Church.
