Surprise visit from Alison-July 14-18

July 14-18
We had a great long weekend with Alison home to surprise her Dad for his birthday. She arrived last Thursday night, got a great deal on American Airlines flight. Richard and I went to Truckee that day for a Lamburger. Not cooked enough for me. Richard got the best birthday present ever having Alison at home. Friday was relaxing, Richard and Alison went grocery shopping together. We all took turns cooking meals for each other the whole time. Alison and Richard put a jigsaw puzzle together of Winnie the Poo. It was so nice to watch them sitting with their heads almost together concentrating on the puzzle and each other. They also worked on Alison's BREXIT essay for English class. Janet taught a Facebook class on Saturday. We all went to Donna Seymour's 80th birthday party in Novato on Saturday afternoon. It is a 2 hour drive there and back to Lincoln. It was very fun. We got to catch up with Kent & Donna, family and friends. Sunday, Alison and Richard slept in while Janet walked Millie and went to church. Alison made a wonderful brunch of soft boiled eggs, sausage, a delicious hash brown casserole, fruit, tea and mimosas. On Monday, we all hung out: our 3 cats-Billie, Norah & Ginger, Millie our dog and our family, Richard, Janet & Alison. Alison and her boyfriend Austin talked on the phone and played video games. The weather was great here, low 80s. We finished the day with Alison in the hot tub before going to the airport. We dropped Alison off, hugged and said love you, until next time and came back home to Lincoln. On our way back at dusk there was a beautiful sunset as well as a full moon rising. Austin picked Alison up at the airport this Tuesday morning. They went out to breakfast and she is now back in class at Auburn. Loving and cherishing the time spent with family making memories to last forever.
