Re-Entry

Marilyn and I spent Sunday afternoon recalibrating. We picked up Dougal, Marilyn’s wheaten terrier, did various chores (Marilyn) and worked on photos (me). We had a delicious quiche supper brought by friend Maggie, who also came with good humor and excellent conversation.
The day started with the zipper on my rather large suitcase finally giving way just after I had finished packing. Marilyn gave me a much smaller one, but everything fit in except the pair of uncomfortable shoes that I left in Stratford as trash, along with the suitcase.
The drive to Pearson airport on this holiday Monday was pleasant on a very light traffic day. I sailed through customs & immigration at YYZ in record time and was at the gate more than two hours before my scheduled flight time. I enjoyed a Starbucks breakfast sandwich and skim latté and sat down to write.
The weekend was not only enjoyable but also very “satisfying”. I had the pleasure of participating in two happy occasions that brought great pleasure to many families. I survived awful shoes and Marilyn saved me from a luggage disaster. Bob picked me up at the airport in the pouring rain.
What more can anyone ask for?
