Goodbyes....




The other girl will be returned to the airport today.

Last evening we were the recipients of an awesome sunset that none of us could quite capture in picture...most of it was appropriately spent in silence as we sat on the bridge's railing and watched a raccoon wander about on the creek's edge.
Today, we'll drive back to O'Hare--luggage stuffed to bursting with new clothes, nine pairs of shoes, packages of Oreo's and a couple boxes of Twinkies.
And we'll all be a little sad.

But she'll be back.....she promised.

What a wonderful sunset to see her off with.
Sounds as if you all made some great connections together.
You'll just have to gert saving for your own airticket over here now

Aww..makes me feel a bit sad for you all. I do so much hate goodbyes.

But sounds like quite a wonderful visit!

Hope the next one comes around soon!

incredible sunset.... the time with her went fast it seems. Hope the Brit (and you of course) won't miss her too much
