The package (my urgent passport renewal application) has landed in the United Kingdom and at 9.13 London time it was delivered to the New Zealand Passport Office. Thank you FedEx!
So we have gained HALF a day. I just spoke to a lovely New Zealand girl in London and they are going to try and get the passport out their door by this afternoon. It was only at the end of the phone call that she realised that the wedding was THIS Saturday. Oh? Oh! she said as it dawned on her the urgency of the situation. Hearing her lovely New Zealand accent was a smile in itself.
What was also lovely was that when she checked with her associate to see if they needed anything, she called across her room “Do we need anything else for Cecilia’s passport?” They called me by my name. Isn’t that just gorgeous. So hopefully nothing goes awry and they will send it with NZ kisses straight back out the door this afternoon. Your magic is working! Like winged jugglers you are keeping my package aloft and moving.
It will be couriered by DHL across the sea and back to the USA and my girl in the NZ passport office will email me the tracking number. Maybe today. Maybe. Then we will wait again.
And we will wait without watching.
And maybe, just maybe.
I cannot say the words. They are too heavy. But just Maybe. As Senior Son Sam (who began his journey from New Zealand to Canada only hours ago) said “I have a good feeling”.
Eldest Son in Canada who will be married on Saturday whether I am there or not, thank goodness, is saying very little. I think he is holding his breath.
Good morning.
I made a haystack with all my excess energy yesterday. Sheila was very helpful. It is not a very good haystack, but it will do.
Have a lovely day. Lovely. Lovely. Lovely.
your friend, celi

I have a good feeling too and will keep my thoughts coming your way (and moving that little package along!). 🙂
Still sending magic thoughts….I know that magic thoughts work as I have seen them in action!!!!

Great news. You’re going to make it, that’s for sure. By the way, that’s the best pig shot ever….even better if there was no wire fence. Fabulous. Keep positive.
That bloody wire fence, the wee piggies squeezed their fat selves through it yesterday and went on a little tour. That’s why Boo had to be locked in the green truck, he was ‘helping’ round them up. Staying positive.. c
Don’t forget to pack your dress and shoes! HAPPY TRAVELS, AND CONGRATULATIONS TO the bride and groom.
You know I believe in magic, Celi. I won’t say any words, BUT my Buddha has literally been covered with flowers ever since I read about “the situation”. XX V.
Hurry FedEx hurry!!! You will have your wedding miracle.
Is there a little pig in that haystack? The first photo? I think it’s a fine haystack.
Sending wedding magic your way, xo
You’ll make it, I just know it! How to find a pig in a haystack…I had no idea it was Sheila, though.
Fingers crossed for you! But is the wedding being videotaped? That could serve as a backup, just in case.
I’ve been praying for you all morning, that all connections will meet and the way will be made clear for you!
Dear Charlotte! That double chin!
will keep your wishes in my heart’s inner lining, but I don’t think you will NOT go. okay dear C you are very special! have a glorious time
This reminds me of one of my all time favorite songs…Do You Believe In Magic….by John Sebastion….yes, of course we all do and that’s why you are going to be at your son’s wedding on Saturday!! 🙂
I do hope so.. c
Yes, the stars are lining up, Celi! Keeping everything crossed too–I hoped you’re packed and ready to roll!
I remember when we Cannucks were wecome to come into the U.S. with only our driver’s licence for ID. I believe it was vice versa as well. Could you contact Canada Customs as a back up plan? Would they please let you into the country and you promise to have your passport on the way out?
Thay may be a fantasy on my part. I don’t believe it works that way. All prayers and appendages crossed for your passport to arrive.
Twelve hours after my first visit! Look at the multitude foregoing their daily tasks to keep everything crossed 🙂 ! But Celi, you won’t forget that dress and shoes, will’ya [and shush, the feminine fripperies to go under said dress also: we had a Sydney blogger this week taking all her things to a hotel for her ceremony and having to pull on her wedding dress sans panties and bra: true story!!]
Oh no!! the panties I can do without but after 5 kids .. not the bra!! I just checked on The Package and it is still wandering about the Midlands in England.. Come on!.. Get it on the plane!! (do you think they can hear me?) I swear I am going to have a nervous breakdown.. c
Not allowed! You WILL make it . . . We ALL know!!!!!
ni ni darlings… c
Surely, by sheer will alone, that passport will be winging its way to Chicago… our Farmy powers are not inconsiderable…
