new arrivals

couldnt sleep; up at 330; bfast at 6; then train with aunt louise to airport

hadnt waited this long to see momma and daddy since emerging from the womb in 1970

they recognized me at international arrivals--wondered if they would--what with my longer; blond hair---at least that which hasnt fallen out yet---they did

so glad to have them and aunt judith and uncle welton here

rental van is a stick---hadnt driven one in over 20 yrs---first 30 minutes kindq nerve wracking---macey didnt help:::amazing that he can hear gears scraping but not anything i need to know when is hearing aids are out--had challenges with seats and emergency brake
