we've been in charleston, south carolina with Big Shelly and Miss K!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MR MOOSE!

i need to scan more of the old photos of the coconut krewe! 

especially for birthday posts!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MR MOOSE!!

what happens when the coconut krewe has access to your phone

first we said goodbye and then we said hello again and then we said, i'll see you tomorrow

so after a tearful  i'll see you tomorrow and total distraction on my part that resulted in me missing my off ramp and having to make an eight mile totally out of my way but-the-only-way-to-get-back-to-where-i-was-supposed-to-be detour, i arrived back at the plantation.

and then the real fun began.

it had looked as if the weather was going to be kind to the mr & mrs matrix part of the coconut krewe and not storm down on them along the east coast and they would have an on time 17:45 departure to IAD aka dulles and then on to LAX, but nay, nay, that most certainly did not happen! i'll skip the part in between, but at 21:00 i was picking them up at SAV and bringing them back to the plantation.  

their flight THIS MORNING was scheduled for 05:45...

oh yeah, like that happened.

this time it was mechanical problems.

we did get a call telling us, but not a request for another pick-up.  it seems the airline decided that super nana and mr matrix were not the people to trifle with again, so the coconut krewe is on their way.  just so you know, none of this bothered BGM at all!

super nana, mr. matrix and BGM arrived today!!

we just got back from the sand gnats v north carolina hickory crawdads baseball game and fireworks display! the gnats took the game, 3 -1 and had a crowd of 3,003 people at historic grayson stadium!

we had a blast.

more tomorrow.

i'll see you tomorrow

captain chaos, Stretch, The Kid and BBC left this afternoon.

did i tell you how much i hate taking people to the airport? well, i do. and it's not because of the driving and bags and the craziness of departures.

it's because i hate saying good bye.

i cry.

A LOT.

i really do hate saying good bye.

(you know i cry when people arrive, too, but that's because i'm so happy to see them.)
(so, maybe it's just airports.)
(but then again, no one has arrived or left on a bus or a train, so...who knows.)

so, when you leave, i'll give you a hug and a kiss.

and then i'll say,

i'll see you tomorrow.
