Now, what is going to happen today?!

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.

morning-026

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

  1. By this time you will be in Calgary! And hopefully have had a glass or three very, very quickly! Lots of love and ENJOY!

  2. I just burst into tears (it’s been a funny old week). My husband was worried until I told him Cecilia’s going to a wedding.
    Whereupon he sighed and went out to mow the lawn.
    So very glad you are going to make it.
    XO

  3. I have everything crossed and I know with all my heart that plan A WILL succeed! I had a feeling your lovely friend was the wonderful John! You can tell by reading his blog he is very generous to his friends, I’m so glad that we’ve all found each other! I can hardly wait to meet you both.
    Now I need to go back to concentrating on making that pasport behave. You WILL be in that plane. XO

  4. I came back today to check…….and was THRILLED to see that Plan A is in action!!! Yippee!!! Enjoy enjoy enjoy! After all the stress of the passport obtaining you deserve a vacation!!!! Enjoy the wedding!!!

  5. Now that I’m caught up with the adventures of Miss C a bit more, I can say I am glad plan A worked out. So glad. So much stress. But all is well now. You are there as we speak. Happy travels.
