My parents are visiting. They've come from Phoenix, where they winter like geese.
I don't think I could talk them into flying here from IL, their real home where they spend the balance of the year. In fact, I'm surprised I talked them into flying this time. Usually they drive the 7 hours. Fate, for some reason made the flight last almost as long, since they had a few hours delay on the ground in Phoenix. I think my Dad was pleased to be able to crow "we'd of been here half an hour ago if I drove!". Possibly.
But then I would have missed the pleasure of driving to Burbank to retrieve them, its nice to wait for someone else at the terminal for once. And I got some sock knitting in while the boys plane-spotted through the Beluga sunroof while we waited on top of the short term parking deck. It was a lovely day in LA today, not too hot, not too cold, the sun was a pleasure instead of something to hide from, there was a breeze. We're taking delivery of a bespoke sectional couch next week, so I'll be spending the weekend cleaning and getting the area ready. The couch is earlyish, so I am pleased. This is also the weekend I intend to nail down the whole photo importing thing on the blog. Baby steps.
