Last evening, Sylvia returned from her trip to Florida.  Midnight and I were eagerly awaiting her return.  Okay, we were both semi-dozing in the recliner in front of the TV when she walked in.  Midnight rushed over to greet her while I waited in line.  🙂

Her journey had started with a one-hour delay and a plane change in Detroit on the first leg of their trip.  Another delay in getting a rental car quickly followed by grid-locked traffic in Jacksonville.  (There had been a concert in the area.)  Eventually, they made it to the hotel and from there to the restaurant where they met the wedding party.  There were other incidents to relate as we talked for quite a while.

This morning I found Sylvia reconnecting with Midnight.  Is there a message here?

Sylvia said, “I wondered why he wanted to get up on the counter top.  Now I know.”  I confirmed that he had been atop the refrigerator yesterday.

Sometimes a guy just has to get away and find his own space.  Midnight likes to do that from a place where he can look on his world with feline indifference.

Fortunately, Sylvia has a good sense of humor and understands that we are really glad to have her with us again.
