Tomorrow if you have time to come and visit me.
You might see more of these pictures.
Then we will know that Plan A has failed, I am still on the farm and Plan B is being trundled out into the drive. That’s OK though. Plan B is not too terrible but it would include missing my sons wedding. But no lives are threatened. No pain sits under our skins. No life would be irrevocably changed if my new passport, being rushed back from the UK, does not arrive on time. Plan B would be OK too.
However if Lady Luck, who is not always a Lady, has smiled on me…
… you will see pictures of planes and travel, and a shiny passport, and I will see the smiling faces of my sons and their lovely ladies.
You will smell crisp mountain air with me.
and see ski lodges and the hear the purr of bubbles against the glass. You might remember your last wedding…
and go to check to make sure your passport is current.
We shall see won’t we. At noon I am going to optimistically climb on the airport bus with my little bags and travel the two hours to the airport where I will wait to see if the passport has arrived. If it doesn’t turn up then I will call the Darling Travel Agent, change the tickets again and catch the next bus back to the farm.
But, if my Good Friend (don’t tell him I put in his link, as he would rather not have the fuss, but his food is as fine as his kindness) does find The Package containing my new passport loitering with intent at the Couriers office, he is going to rush it across town to where I will be waiting on the airport bench outside Departures surrounded in plans and tender tenterhooks and if I make the plane bound for Calgary at 6.30 pm then you will hear the shouts of relief and delight from your place.
We will see, won’t we. I will try to send you an update in the evening but (shh – whisper this) I might be in the Air! How do planes stay up there in the sky anyway, being a bear of little brain I think it must be magic too.
And I have a question, I will have my Kindle with me. What book should I read while I am waiting? What have you read lately? I have read everything on the last list we made. It is time to make another! If I get away I will be away a week. I bet I get some reading time!
Have a lovely day.
I hope Plan A works today. You have all been so wonderful, your comments have quite literally got me through this ridiculous mess I got myself into.
And as you know. You can’t go Over it. You can’t go Under it. You have to go Through it. (This quote is from a book I used to read to my children called The Bear Hunt – it has become the Family Line.)
Now I am going to get farming, then wash my hair and Prepare for whatever the universe sends me today. Thank you Magical Fellowship of the Farmy. You are my stars.
your friend, celi

I am still holding my breath. V
I’m hearing the strains of the Mission Impossible theme, just as Tom Cruise as you jump on that plane just in time. Travel well…I just believe this is going to work!
Read later…get some sleep! You have a lot of partying to do. 🙂
Of course we knew who your friend in Chicago was, the one with the heart of gold, and now it seems that as we all wished…you WILL be on that plane, hopefully with a cocktail in hand. But of course it is 5:00 somewhere already. Godspeed to you, and safe travels. It’s going to work out. 🙂
I hope all goes well and you catch the plane, though I never tire of those little pigs 😉
Oh my, what a suspenseful read you have given us all the past couple days! I think you may wish to read something completely peaceful as you wait. If I were you, I’d probably just sit-n-stare for hours and work on slow breathing. Praying for you and your adventure. Blessings to your son and his beloved bride-to-be also!
We are all hoping, hoping, hoping…
So very happy to hear that your passport has been found and that our hero has gone to pick it up. I am glad that you won’t have to miss the wedding. I have such empathy — I’m the mother of the bride in 15 days myself!
Safe travels to Calgary, and a wonderful wedding and blessed and content ever after for your son and his bride!
Congradulations … and Celebrations….da da da lalalala dada Da. : )
So glad and amazed! You have surely convinced the world to slice the red tape! Wow the power of a determined mom! Enjoy!
I have my window open, I don’t want to miss that squeal of delight. Godspeed.
It’s a MIRACLE!
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Wedding bells will be ringing for you!!
Fly safe!
I will be thinking of you. The best of wishes to you no matter how it pans out.
Darwin’s Ghosts, Rebecca Stott – from Aristotle to Darwin himself, a biography of the men (sic) who thought about how the world worked, despite persecution by religious and state institutions. It’s terrific, and will keep your mind off waiting 🙂 Fingers toes and eyes crossed …
Yay! Yay! you and Cinderella have a lot in common ! Take care and hope all is well xx
