Day 46 From Burbank: New York, Here I Come!

Karen sends her posts from Burbank, CA, USA





Today I leave for New York and Hubby comes home from Vegas. We will miss each other by one hour. I'm driving 3 to Aunt Bonnie's house to hang out until Hubby comes home. Thank you again, Aunt Bonnie.

From the back seat 3 says....

3: Momma?

Me: Yes?

3: I have to tell you something.

(I take a deep breath.)

Me: What's that, sweetie?

3: You know I love you with all my heart?

(One tear drop falls onto my almost clean shirt. I never did do laundry.)

Me: Yes, baby, I love you with all my heart too.

3: Well, when you're in New York I'm not going to be sad or angry.

(I almost can't talk I'm so choked up.)

Me: That's good honey.

3: I'm just going to think about all the candy and treats you're going to bring me.

(I know he's playing me. And yet I love him for it.)

Me: That's right, honey, I am.

I drop him off at Aunt Bonnie's house. He's having the time of his life. My heart hurts.

I rush home and pack.

On the way to the airport I meet a very interesting gentleman named Norman Merrill.


He's a wonderful artist.
What an interesting adventure, and I haven't even gotten to the airport yet.








At the airport I have a lovely lunch.
Clam Chowder.

Perrier and a wedge salad.



Then I get on a plane for many hours.

Eat an airplane meal. Bleck.

Sit back and watch a movie. All the way through without interruptions. I kind of remember that. And then I have a wonderful thought........Room Service.

Arrive in New York.

And sleep.

  2. Well, he was actually my driver. He told me many wonderful stories about his life and finally about his art. I told him about my blog and asked if I could talk about him and put some of his artwork up. He graciously agreed.

  3. You ate that at LAX? Or Bob Hope? Why do I only find cold Burger King?

  4. well hello fellow cardboard box lover. I've seen you on Twitter but never followed my way to your blog and here I am. What a great little adventure!! The art is very cool.

    And you're in Burbank. And I'm in West LA. Should be be BFFs? I guess the Sepulveda Pass will most likely prevent that. :-)

    See you around....

  5. Wendi, you are hilarious. I ate that at LAX. Waiting to get on Virgin Airlines.

    Lee! We could totally be BFF's! I am indeed bestees with Smacksy. She is amazing and I would not be writing at all if it weren't for her support and guidance! How do you feel about candle making? I don't do that either, just wondering.
