They’re Here
November 22, 2011
They have arrived.
In dramatic fashion–or at least a fashion foreign to this family–they pulled up in a rented home on wheels. Matt rented a 30-foot long RV so mom could be as comfortable as possible for her first road trip in I don’t know how many years. Mom was able to go back to the “bedroom” and put her feet up and read while 18-wheelers past freakishly close to her bedroom window. Took them ten hours to get here from southern California. Not impressive time, but comfy. The RV’s a kick, and takes up most of our driveway. Matt’s using it as his hotel room while here, making him, by his own words, the perfect guest.
Anyway, here they are gathered in the living room–Matty, Chris and mom (Jay’s in Thailand.. another story worth telling). Which means Jim’s made himself scarce, hiding out somewhere in the back of the house.
Peter’s playing his new video game, I’m baking pies.
And so the holiday begins..
