- Flight delayed 2 hours leaving Spokane. Waiting made me miss my family before even leaving the city.
+ Kelly, the lady who does my permanent make-up, was still able to retouch even though I was late.
+ Dinner at CPK with my best friend, Marja, eating our favorite Thai Crunch Salad.
+ Fabulous night's rest as Marja bought me a Homedics sound machine just like the one I have at home.
+ My brother, Jason, and I met for breakfast.
+ Visited my cousin, her husband and their new, precious new-born, Gabriela, and my Aunt Linda, too.
+ Visited Lynette, my HS and College friend, who happend to live only 3 streets away from Tristan
- Wished I had Katherine with me to play with Madison, Lynette's daughter.
+ Met Marja at Dear Lizzy in Highland for lunch. I'm still drooling over the cupcake.
+ We added Alex to the mix and drove to the outlets in Park City to do what we do best: SHOP!
+ We're such pros at this, we have developed traditions about our outtings. We had dinner at Loco Lizard where we've been getting our shopping stamina sustinence for 4 years.
+ Alex was a trooper even though he didn't find any shoes he liked.
+ So much fun driving and talking with my best friend
- Brought my bookclub selection, Manhunt, to read and it's dull.
+ Breakfast with Marja at Mimi's Cafe
+ Christmas shopping, many items crossed off the list
+ Tried out violin bows at Peter Prier in Salt Lake. Peter gave me full purchase price for the bow I bought 4 years ago and was trading in. I picked a beautiful new bow with less bounce.
+ Lunch with mom-in-law at Jason's Deli
+Visited Layton museum where father-in-law, who is on the committee, was giving tours
+ All purchases fit in my bags, got to the airport on time. No delays and wasn't a crowded flight.
- My bags learned the "way to San Jose." Insert music here. Finally delivered on Sunday afternoon
= Weighing it all together, it can be concluded I had a super solo flight. I just love having the opportunity to visit family and friends, to laugh and chat. I especially am grateful for my best friend, Marja, and our traditions that make me feel alive and the talks that remind me why I want to keep on living. The Dear Lizzy cupcake I'm still craving!

WOW. That is a crazy-fun week, I mean 2 days! You are such a party animal!
Love, Tif
