​
​GOOD-BYE, MRS. LEAFY

...Continued from yesterday:
     In my daughter and son-in-law's back yard there is one great soaring palm tree that my grand daughters named Mrs. Leafy.

       The image of Mrs. Leafy was just one of many that I was already missing as I sat at my gate at the Los Angeles airport early in the morning of May 26, waiting for my 8:25am flight to Portand, Oregon, where I planed on spending a week visiting my sister Romaine.

     My mate was already on his way home, having taken an earlier flight back to Columbus.

...and so I sat by myself scrolling through my pictures of the things I'd captured and wanted to remember,  just the ordinary things that were part of the ordinary days.

      Homework assignments,

...and Girl Scout projects.

    Saturday  chores,

...and Saturday games.

...an afternoon at the beach,

...and evenings of music.

      Making a special dessert on the last night of our visit,

...and leaving a plain piece in case someone doesn't like fruit.

      Pinky,

...Yajou,

...and all the moments that were simply  moments.

      I wished I could have had just a little more time. Just one more day. But my time was up for this visit and soon enough my plane was boarding and my group being called. It was time to go.
       I handed my boarding pass to the gate attendant. Was I in for a surprise.
       To be continued....
