Well, sisters, I'm on the road again..... (I think that might be a Willie Nelson tune playing through my head....)
I love 2 hour direct flights!!! Can't say that enough! Left KC yesterday at 6:30 am and arrived at Salt Lake City at 7:45 am - even gained an hour on the way :)
Wayne and I had about 6 hours to ourselves before the kids arrived!! Drove to the hotel and they not only had our room available at 10:00 in the morning, but who should show up, but my brother Rick! (He's looking a little shell-shocked from writing large checks for his daughter's wedding---but he's still standing!!)
We had a quick visit---as he was on assignment--and had more on his to-do list. Wayne and I watched a little tennis - it is Wimbledon you know!--then the Greens and Larsons from Minnesota showed up--end of peace and tranquillity!!!
While Wayne went to pick up the kiddos, I lounged around the swimming pool with the clan. The weather is wonderful!!! No humidity!! It was supposed to get up to around 100 degrees but rain sprinkles showed up on and off throughout the afternoon which cooled things down. Still....no humidity!!!
Well Happy Hour started at 5:30 pm in John and Kim's room and just never ended the rest of the evening!! From their room it was on to the rehearsal dinner......a little bit of food and more wine and beer!! I spent the evening trying to keep my sister, Paula, sober. Unfortunately the videographer caught up with her and asked her for marriage advice for the soon to be married couple. Imagine that........asking Paula for marriage advice..... Well he got an earful! Her first words were: RUN! Run far and run fast!! (Something to that effect!!)
(I think perhaps that I should volunteer to edit that video.... but on the other hand Paula did actually have some good advice----THE WIFE IS ALWAYS RIGHT---makes for an enduring marriage of wedded bliss.
So today is a new day of adventure in SLC. Stay tuned for more updates of summer vacation with the Green Clan!
PS. Have to thank my favorite neighbor to the north, for getting up at 5:00 in the morning to drive Wayne and me to the airport. She is a chauffeur extraordinaire!!!
