Well, she's gone...

[dreamflower]

*sigh* danae_b is well on her way home now. I'm hoping her flight home is trouble-free and very UNadventurous.

We've had a great time, in spite of our close call, which you may read about here: http://danae-b.livejournal.com/18760.html .

In spite of the close call, we had a great time. The old gas station ruins she mentioned are fascinating--there's an informational sign there that tells its history--it was one of the oldest gas stations on Route 66, and had been there since possibly as early as the 19-teens, definitely the twenties. It served at one time as the headquarters for a counterfeiting operation, and later on, there was a *murder* there! And Pop's, where we had lunch was a hoot! As soon as I can, I'll post some pics!

We worked on hobbits, and rested today, until it was time to go to the airport.

It was so wonderful to have her here and visit with her. I'm really going to miss her!

Sounds like it was a very successful visit--lots of good memories! Looking forward to the pictures. :)

Wow, already?!?!? Seems like she just barely got there!

Glad you had a great visit.

Oh and the house is suddenly so quiet huh? I am so glad you gals had a wonderful time (haven't heard about the close call though, can't read it either since its f-locked. But all went ok, I assume *hugs*

Yes, I wish her a very UNadventurous trip home! I'm so happy you both had this visit. I know she was looking forward to it for a long time.

The ends of moots are always hard! I felt that way last year both after gentlehobbit and sophinisba left! I'm glad you had a great time, though!

I'm glad you two were able to get together, and I can only imagine how much you must miss her already.

I look forward to seeing you again :) And having one less close call than we did this last time! Oh, but I had such a good time with you (and hobbits! Oh, the hobbits) and it seems we didn't do nearly half as much as we'd planned on.

*hug hugs* I miss you! But I'll be seeing you (so to say) on the phone.

It was indeed a fun visit! I really hope we can do it again sometime!

And I'm hopeful to post the pictures soon, myself.

[dreamflower]

I know! That's what it *felt* like, too--like she practically had to turn around and leave right after she got here!!

[dreamflower]

Too quiet! But we had a blast!

As to the close call: short version, on our way home from our little jaunt on Thurs. I fell asleep briefly at the wheel, and ran us into the wrong lane! Fortunately, no on-coming traffic! But it scared the bejeebers out of us!

(She'd probably friend you at her new journal if you asked!)

[dreamflower]

She did pretty well--she was afraid she was going to miss her connecting flight, due to a previous flight being cancelled, but it all worked out.

We are already looking forward to doing it again sometime.

[dreamflower]

It's so hard to say good-bye! But we did have a lovely time!

(By the way, glad you are settling in nicely at your new home!)

[dreamflower]

I do, I do miss her! But we will get together again--we just have to! And of course, we've already started wearing out the phone lines again...

[dreamflower]

(((((((((((hugs muchly)))))))))

I know--there was *SO* much we wanted to do still...

(And I never got to teach you to cast-off! *sigh*)

I read about the close call---thank goodness you're both okay!
