Good trip today (minus my camera)

My flights from Harrisburg to Charlotte, NC and then to Tampa went very smoothly today. I had a long hold over in Charlotte, but my library book, Redemption, by Karen Kingsbury kept me well occupied.

Jeremy met me at the airport and we immediately went to Lisa and George's beautiful house to which they just moved earlier this week. It was so wonderful to see all of them again. Sophie took me on a tour of the house. We ate dinner in their big screened in porch, then celebrated Jeremy's birthday with a delicious ice cream cake, complete with 29 sparking candles that almost set off the smoke alarm!

Twenty-nine years ago at this time I was laboring! I thought I would be having a Valentine's Day baby, but he wanted his own special day and waited until 45 minutes after midnight to arrive.

On the way to the airport this morning I was exclaiming over the beauty of the white plumes of smoke against the blue sky coming from Three Mile Island. Dick said, "You brought your camera, didn't you?" Stunned, I said, "No, I didn't." I could not believe it. To top it off, after I had checked in my luggage I looked at my cell phone and saw that it was on the last bar. My charger was in my luggage. No camera and potentially no cell phone by the time I got to Tampa. I was near tears. You'd think I had never traveled before. So I used my phone very sparingly and Jeremy assured me I could use his camera while I'm down here, so everything ended up okay. I just have to learn to use his camera, and also how to use this Mac computer for posting pictures.

It's been a long day, and everyone else has already hit the sack. Good night!
