The plane leaving Wilmington was late yesterday .. again.. and Megan almost missed her connecting flight in Atlanta (this scenario sure sounds familiar). However, she did arrive in Nashville at 2:15 p.m. (thirty minutes later than scheduled), so I'm going to cut Delta Air Lines a little slack .. this one time.
Since Cheryl's parents were coming over for supper (and to see their granddaughter, of course), she needed to stay home and "get her/our house in order" .. plus prepare a delicious meal (Raving Ravioli .. a family favorite .. topped only by Stark Raving Mad Manicotti).
This meant I had two and a half hours of daddy/daughter time in the car on the way back to Humboldt (insert large grin here ___ ) and because Megan and I share a love of food and film, there were no uncomfortable pauses in the conversation on the way home (who would have thought you could talk about black beans and Battlestar Galactica all the way from Nashville to Humboldt??).
We arrived safely at 2705 Chere Carol Road around 5:15 p.m. (just forty five minutes before suppertime) and everyone got to "adore Megan" (something she has came to expect) for the remainder of the evening (I'm the one who is usually the center of attention around here, but since she doesn't get to be home that often, I let her have the limelight .. this one time).
Tomorrow morning, Meg and Cher are joining a few others for a "girls only" trip to the beach (no men allowed because .. they want to enjoy themselves!).
I get to stay home, fend for myself, keep the flowers watered for a week, and spend Father's Day all alone.
Somehow they didn't make it sound that bad when it was first explained to me!
