after a very early departure from maine (5:45 am), arrived at BWI Amtrak station at 7:14 pm weary but not exhausted. it's only the last hour that is tough....spent overnite at DD and DSIL getting a whopping 10 hours' sleep...so very thankful to have that option. arrived back at home in time for bookmobile and getting a few grocery necessities. then the job of unpacking....first was this lovely small quilt that'll make an ideal table topper for my chairside table from vic. she loves red, and this piece with some of her beauties is so fall-like. it has a nice floral flannel backing too....
this letter opener was a give back from mom. it was bought at the UN in 1965 by me as a trinket and she's had it all these years. a few nicks, but just seeing it brings back memories of the day. it was a trip by the world affairs club in the 10th grade... *** and isn't this a gorgeous bag?
it contained my birthday gift from DD....a gold chain for my gold cross charm and a lovely new nitegown....she has such wonderful taste and always knows just the right things to choose...and the card was sentimental that choked me up....i am so blessed indeed!
So glad to hear that you made it home safely and without incident! It was great to see you!
