Day 5 of the Tour

Today we woke up at home, in our own bed, with our daughter, Trinity down the hall, and the dogs downstairs. It was wonderful. We got twenty-four hours at home with the kiddo and the puppies. But we were supposed to be traveling out again. A travel day. we began the day by forgetting to turn our clocks forward, so we slept too late. Luckily, our friend, Richard (no, not that Richard, they don’t even look alike)was bringing cinnimmon rolls for breakfast. His timely arrival saved us from sleeping through everything. Luckily, also, he and Trinity get along well, because they got to visit while we dressed. Then Jon’s parent’s arrived, and we got to visit with everyone. They even brought the weasel-hund, also known as Missy, who is really a miniature long-haired dauchshund, but we prefer weasel-hund. She’s been sharing Grandma and Grandpa with our tawny horde of three.

Long before we were ready to leave, the car arrived, and it was time to go to the airport. sigh.

Unfortunately, our flight was cancelled. A semi-frantic call to New York got us a new flight, but hours later. We got to eat lunch at the airport, and be singled out for new and more interesting security measures. I think it had something to do with our ticket being changed at last minute, or something. Or maybe we just looked suspicious. Who knows?

We got to see Detroit, an unplanned diversion, but finally we arrived in Lexington. Instead of early afternoon, it was 10:30 at night, but at least we got here. If our change of plans had made us miss an event, then our new motto to be positive and look on the brighter side of things, would have been more severely tested. Here’s hoping that none of us is more severely tested in the days to come.

Gotta go.
