Sheesh. I'm back now and it was a crazy crazy week.
We drove to Dayton, got to spend an evening with my aunt and her oldest boy. Watched Supersize Me, which was a really good movie. What was stunning about it was how only one of the doctors really seemed to think that there'd be any significant damage/changes to his health/ cholesterol/ blood work. Of course, A and I were somewhat distracted in the middle of the movie when she realized that the tip of her hearing aid was no longer on the hearing aid? Was it in the truck? In the sofa? Still in her ear? We couldn't tell.
My sister and her husband didn't show up until the next afternoon and they were exhausted from two days of driving a 16' truck and towing the car behind. We hauled all 6 guitars (jazz electric, acoustic, jazz acoustic, a little mandolin-thing that I tried to remember the name of and failed) into the house followed by the Roland keyboard. We chatted, teased and then went to bed. Thursday morning was the drive back into South Bend, a fast stop at the hearing center to verify that yeah, the tip of the hearing aid had come off in A's ear. A tug or two with the funky forceps, some extra tips packed away for the second half of the trip and we were off again, this time to Chicago.
Brookfield zoo on Friday - all frickin' day Friday, Halstead and some shopping on Saturday along with the Art Institute and the Shedd aquarium topped off by dinner at Berghoff's and then back to the hotel to collapse. Of course, someone across the street from the hotel was having a block party. Until midnight we had latin music BLARING into our room. Massive packing and cleanup effort Sunday morning and here we are again.
Tomorrow or Tuesday I hope to have some of the pictures I took up for you.
Now, though, I'm ecstatic to be back in my messy home, re-connected to the internet and cuddly with my doggies and kitties.
Boy do I NOT want to go to work tomorrow!
