Yes, we’re talking reuniting here. My Favorite Panamanian finally escaped Panama on Friday and despite yet another delay arrived in Boston to claim her rose bouquet. I had a bit of a wait in the terminal E reception area which I’ve gotten to know so well over the years. The house once again feels appropriately filled with the amount of life only this my Favorite Panamanian can produce. I felt so good a was that happy to vanquish the loneliness her absence represented. Granted, I’m sure she wasn’t as pleased to have me along as I was looking for an exit strategy as soon as we walked into the store. Finally, I have to take issue with the many comments I received when I published this picture of my Favorite Panamanian and I at the airport. The lighting fixture over my head simulated a halo and apparently a number of people thought this was hilarious. I laughed along with them until I thought about it and said, “Hey!”. The more I thought about it, I had to agree, totally unwarranted and therefore funny.
My Angelic Pose
As
heavy rain encompasses the East Coast, I am pronouncing this as Cookie Weekend.
Both my son and daughter launched the annual Christmas cookie endeavor this
weekend with the able assistance of my granddaughters. The FBR shows she can
still wear cookie batter well and I’m sure all three will find bedtime a challenge
once the sugar rush hits. My Favorite Panamanian is laboring directly above me
to create her contribution to the cookie haul. I put on two to three pounds every
time I leave the Man Cave to pass through the kitchen. The two youngest granddaughters seem to have
overcome their aversion/fear of Santa. They’re probably recalling how generous he
was last Christmas. I’m starting to get my annual Christmas high as we roll
closer, especially with my roommate back in residence. 
She's Back!!
FBR, Batter Up!

Three
