A Visit

To the States!

This photo represents Lloyd on the way to the consulate (the first time) to get his passport renewed. This is what he thought he was going to wear. I cranked the heat in the car so that, one by one, the hats came off. And stayed off!

Once we got to the consulate, I was told we needed an appointment (new rule) so we had to go home and book online.

We went back today and it couldn't have gone better. We should have Lloyd's new passport Friday or Monday at the latest! Not quite sure how they accomplish this but that's for them to know and me to enjoy.

So... I'm beginning to fill the calendar with reunions and get excited all over again every time I put someone's name in ink.

I have just under three weeks to visit family and many friends in RI, family in NJ, family outside of Philly and family in the middle o' PA. I've got to organize my sister to fly in from Nashville. Oh, and a 90th birthday celebration to attend.

Yeah, we're going to be flat out. Bring it on I say! It'll have been just over a year and a half since the day we moved away.

Bring it.
