October 2008

“Ok, here is the secret plan, E. I get off work, drive 400 miles and knock on your door and H is super surprised.”
“Ok,” he says.

So on Thursday, October 16, 2008 I get into the Honda and drive out of LA, across the desert to Arizona and knock on the door.
I wait. I’m thinking that somebody may be looking out of the peephole at me. Suddenly, the door bursts open. H’s eyes widen, there is a huge smile on her face and she says, “Wow, What are you doing here?” Her voice sounds bright and cheerful like, hey there’s a parade outside my door or the cake is for me?
“I’ve come to see you,” I reply.
Then the hugging starts. First H moves toward me for an extra long unexpected bear hug. MMMM! I turn toward E. WAIT A MINUTE, she comes back around the other side for another hug. DOUBLE HUG CITY! WOW! SHE IS SURPRISED!

After visiting, playing with grandchildren, eating and just enjoying being together, I leave. As I head back home, I wonder how I can surprise her the next time. Come dressed in costume?
Bring her tickets to a concert? Have a band outside the house? The choices are endless.
