After taking two days to make arrangements and recover from a whirlwind trip overseas, Brian, Elizabeth, and I left North Manchester yesterday at 7:00 a.m. and arrived at 5:00 p.m. in Rochester, MN. The way that wind was blowing Sunday night, I was afraid we would have great difficulty getting far. Surprisingly, for most of the trip, the pavement was clear. It was almost as though someone had cleared the way. We spent last night in our hotel just chilling. Brian and I found ourselves in the hotel restaurant for dinner without Elizabeth. Apparently, the Duke-Pittsburgh tip off was much more pressing than dinner with her parents We are not sure when this addiction to basketball started, but she is almost as bad as Brian’s mom!
The highlight of the day came when our sweet neighbor children FaceTimed Elizabeth. At one point, Briggs said to Elizabeth, “Can I see your owie?” When Elizabeth pointed to her head and said it was inside, Briggs exclaimed, “Oh, my gosh. That’s going to be so hard to get out. Do you know how hard he is going to have to pull?” As his mom tried to hush him and apologize to Elizabeth, we laughed and continued to for rest of the evening. In fact, we have laughed off and on about his innocence all day.
Laughter IS the best medicine!
