Woohoo! I hope they have a safe journey!!! Have fun with them, Hon!

They are here now, laying on bed, making a start at sleeping off their jet-lags. Their journey was safe and peaceful. The Little one only cried when the plane was going down because that hurt her ears a little. The only bad thing is that Ellysa didn't get to sleep at all.

Right now it's 10:30pm, and I'm eating dinner alone. Ellysa can't be bothered to wake up to eat. Which I can forgive her rather easily, since she has been awake for about... Ooh, I think 41 hours. Poor girl. Still, she says she's home now. And when she does wake up, hungry, dinner is only a microwave-heat-up away for her.

I sometimes think she is a little like FlutterShy. Very timid and soft spoken, seemingly passive. But when it comes down to it she is strong and competent and really pulls through.

[used my reply to you as a basis for a new journal, but the journal is an extended version, so still interesting for you to read]

Well, I am so glad they arrived home safely. I hope she gets plenty of rest and enjoys her time with you to her heart's content and you as well. Enjoy dinner and enjoy her company.
