What about this day?  Some parts were soft.  Some parts were hard.   I mean, the weather here is like paradise. Just like paradise.  So it doesn’t feel quite right  to complain about anything.

BUT…. we had to take the kids to the airport this morning, and put them on a plane…. northward home.  On our drive into Georgetown, we stopped and got some Jerk Chicken for lunch.  We asked…..”How do you prepare your chickens?  And the guy said…. “Nothing special.  We just tell them straight out that they are going to die.”

At any rate…. back to the kids leaving the Caymans.  This was sad.  So sad, in fact…. we cried at that dang airport.  We are goofy…… I know.  We will see them in a week…. I know that too.  Yet it was very difficult.  Especially for the Mary.  The Nanny.

And away they went.   Homeward bound.

It was a great week with both of them, and they are such a joy to be around.  They both caught colds…  which was a drag.   We went through a lot of tissues.   I wonder if  you know how to make a tissue dance?    You put a little boogie in it!

I am always asking them “What If” questions.  Like… where they would live if they could pick anywhere in the world.  Or what they would want to do, if they could have any job they wanted.  Favorite desserts…  Favorite Musical Artists…. those sorts of things.

At this age… I am still wondering what I am supposed to be when I grow up.  I think I might even want a job cleaning mirrors..  … .. It’s something I could really see myself doing.

So tonight… as I sit and write… I am trying to cheer things up a little bit.  It is a good thing I knock this thing out my my computer.  The only other thing I had around was a dull pencil?  And I am NOT going to write with that.  It would be pointless.
