Good Friend in Town



We were lucky to have our good friend in town from Sunday to this morning at about 4:45 a.m. Notice from picture that she even smiles at that hour!

She made the most of the daytime, when Cheyn and I were working. Mrs Dora visited a number of museums and places we haven't even made it to: A butterfly arboretum in the Natural History Museum downtown, a Tobacco Museum in Durham, and a nuclear power plant close to here I didn't even know existed.


We were able to catch up and have some good talks and see a bit of town with her too. We went up to Duke and saw the famous chapel. We went for Cookout and for Sushi. She took us dancing with her at a local place. We watched in amazement from the side and she brought us out later and taught us a few steps. OK mostly me.

What a treat to have her in town. We love you Ms. Dora

I looked at your Cook Out link. Yum. I want to try some of that NC BBQ. Do you like how I'm the only commenter without their own blog?! Do you still love me?

The reason said Dora is smiling at 0445 is that she is partly sleep deprived from dancing and trying to stay awake so that she doesn't miss her flight (which almost happened in LA), and partly appalled that said Ryan would take a picture of a sleep-deprived, dancing traveller at practically the middle of the night.

Finally these two are together and settled. With real furniture. That actually matches. No more sleeping on the floor, Mister. Your Missus has made you a home!
