Today we have a close friend from Nashville, Scott Greeley, who came for an overnight visit. He was scheduled to arrive between 2:30 and 3:00. During the morning, Kate worked outside. At 12:35, I went outside and told her I thought we should get ready for lunch because I wanted us to get back home in plenty of time to be ready for Scott. In a few minutes she came inside. When I didn’t hear from her by 1:25, I went back to her room. She heard me coming and said, “”What do you want? I’m getting dressed.” When I reached the door, I could see that she was just then starting to get dressed. She wanted me to leave, and I did. At 1:50, she finally came into the kitchen ready to go. That was almost two hours from the time I first went outside to prompt her to come in. She was quite cheerful at this point. We went to lunch and all was well.
The final part of our day was easy. She loves Scott; so just being with him from around 3:30 until we went to bed at 10:45 was a special treat for her. We went to dinner at one of our favorite restaurants and chatted at length about many things. The day turned out to be as special as I had hoped.
