Unpacked sweaters, scarves and boots from Oregon trip
Packed sundresses and sandals for a visit to the 113 degree Arizona desert
Greeted at the airport by one of my brothers, a much adored niece (I first became an aunt at age 7) and two superfantastic and equally adored great-nieces, ages 10 and 6
Lovingly welcomed into my mother's embrace and well air conditioned childhood home
Fed Cheerios to the peacock (by request)
Made it through a brief power outage without excessive panic (no air conditioning + intense heat = bit of fret)
Realized I forgot my swimsuit
Introduced my great-nieces to Punky Brewster (big fans)
Road trip to Eegee's (an Arizona thing) where I went with half lemon, half pina colada (if you're familiar)
Admitted to myself I wasn't really going to use the running shoes I packed
Assisted in sewing paper heart banners to string throughout the house
Said goodbye too soon
