Aunt Camp: over













Adrienne left last night. I took her to the airport and parked so I could help her with her luggage. She went through security, I left the airport, and cried the entire way to my friend's house. Right after I got there, Adrie called saying her flight was delayed three hours so I went back to get her, took her to Sonic for dinner, and then back to the airport. She got out at Departures and she was the one crying this time. We said goodbye again and she marched into the airport with her backpack and trombone case. She landed in Ft. Lauderdale at two this morning. Holiday Aunt Camp was great. We watched lots of good movies, ate lots of good food, visited lots of good friends (and we visited some friends every day--you know who you are). I taught her how to drive. She made a skirt. I introduced her to the Bourne trilogy (she's a Matt D. fan now). I miss her clutter, her laugh, her hugs. It was a wonderful holiday.

You should nudge her to come to Boston for college! Also, you definitely win "Best Aunt Award".

Nick and I watched the Bourne trilogy over Christmas break too! How funny!

You are a great aunt.
