Friday, September 19

Oh, good grief.

In looking back over this week’s posts, I can’t believe the typos! This has been a doozy of a week, all the way around, and I guess it shows in the synapses, huh? Anyway, it’d take longer to go back and fix them than it will to move on. (Though I may go and fix the ones in the education post – that’s always awkward.)

Zorak will be home tomorrow. He’s been at a class this week, and having a delightful time of it – lunch out with one of his brothers and a cousin, all-you-can-eat sushi with his brother, dinner at a brewery with other cousins, and a night in, making chimichangas with cousins. Oh, yeah, and in between all that, he’s learned an awful lot about whatever it was he went to learn about. But I haven’t heard about that part. Just all the other stuff. I wouldn’t be surprised if he calls in the morning to tell me about having cable and watching movies without interruptions.

And so, our task tomorrow is to make sure his homecoming is everything he’s been missing this week. Because, in spite of evidence to the contrary, he has missed us. I hope.

We’ll make a pork roast and pear pie, mashed potatoes and iced tea. The kids are going to put on a little show for him, showing off all they’ve worked on this week – piano, poetry, math facts and songs. That’ll be nice. But mostly, it’s just the quiet of an evening with all of us back under one roof that I’m looking forward to.

I am not trying to be dense...but are the pork roast and pear pie separate things or a pie with pork roast and pears? I haven't checked in for awhile, but thought of you when I drove through FWB the other day. The recent hurricane closed the island for a day, right where you stayed. Glad you're doing well!
