Flying

At 7:03ish tonight I should be on a Delta flight to Michigan. Ann and TJ are flying tomorrow to see her family up north Michigan. I hope to be too busy to blog, but who knows, maybe I will get inspired. My laptop will be returning with me to NC because Jim needs a specific laptop to use in the private high school that he will be starting Sept. 7th. How exciting for Jim to go to a new school. I did tell him [and I will repeat it] that he should have more fun than a barrel of monkeys, in high school. We/he only get 4 years of high school, make the best of it. This is NOT a dress rehearsal, live, love, have FUN! ....We should all have more fun than we can stand, we don't get a second chance to do it again.

I'm back.

Esther, my 101 year old friend died 2 weeks ago. She was sad to see me leave Michigan, because we had become such good friends over the past few years that I visited her almost weekly. And I was not happy about leaving her. So.......... I decided to write to her almost every day, and when I had four pages of STUFF, I would post the letter. I'm sure at one time she received 2 letters at once, because the postal person failed to pick up a letter on Saturday and I had another by Monday. That explains why I haven't blogged in a while. All my thoughts went into the love I sent by snail mail to my wonderful friend. We did talk once by phone, and she said " well Virginia, I never knew you were such a competent amusing letter writer". [I never had a reason to stick pen to paper before.] Esther used to be quite the letter writer herself, until last year. She even wrote to prisoners! I'll miss you Mary Esther Sweeney 3-9-09 to 8-10-10
