1. Debbie will spend spring break and an additional week at Adrienne's house and hold down their fort when Josh and Adrienne take Ellie to Baltimore and Washington, DC for tests and other medical business. I drove Debbie to the airport late this morning, we said farewell, but little did we know that our farewell was premature.
2. Debbie boarded the flight for Minneapolis/St. Paul and due to a problem (I don't know what), the plane had to stay put for a while. After a while, Debbie realized that if she stayed on this plane, she would not make her connection in Minneapolis/St. Paul for Newark, NJ.
So she got off the plane.
After some deliberation, she decided to rent a car, come back to Kellogg, and return to Spokane early Sunday morning to catch the flights to Minneapolis and Newark the airline pro rescheduled her on.
Debbie arrived in Kellogg, wound down for a while, and once her head cleared a bit, we had some great conversation about our good fortune to have worked with such gifted artists in Eugene -- Debbie had this good fortune playing music and I had it in my theater experience.
3. After leaving the airport, I buzzed to Great Harvest and savored a delicious turkey sandwich and a fresh oatmeal and chocolate cookie. I drifted over to New Look Books to see if a couple or three titles I was looking for were in stock. They weren't. I then decided to head back to Kellogg.
It's too bad I didn't hang out a bit longer in Spokane.
Had I done that, I could have returned to the airport, picked up Debbie, and brought her home myself -- and taken her back to the Spokane Airport early Sunday morning.
(By the way, as I write this post around 10:00 Sunday morning, I know that Debbie has arrived in Minneapolis, so things are working out better on Sunday than they did Saturday!)
