Michigan Flyers
Sunday, April 6th, 2025This morning’s 7:10 airport run was made much easier because we didn’t actually have to drive over to Metro. The beach urchins, returning from visiting their cousin (my niece) in Hawaii, grabbed the Michigan Flyer, i.e. the *bus*. All we had to do was drive downtown and I mean downtown *Ann Arbor*, which is less (fewer?) than two miles from our house and absolutely deserted early on a Sunday morning. And it wasn’t even snowing or anything.
I am glad, as I always am, that their travels were safe. I don’t really ever worry much but that tragic crash in DC in January did rattle me. I wish that Pengie (niece) lived closer to us but she has an important job that bases her in Hawaii and she is needed there. I’m very very proud of her and so would my brother (her dad) be if he had lived long enough to see her grow into the talented, respected woman she is. I’m glad my daughters got to go and see her and hopefully we’ll see her in the summer🧡🧡🧡
I made CPP (chicken pot pie) today. I don’t make it with a “traditional” pie crust. I top it with a biscuit crust. I am not a born and bred biscuit maker but drop biscuits from The Joy of Cooking work and people seem to like it. So. I made CPP mostly because I had a crazy craving for it but also because it would feed a small crowd if the beach urchins were up to dinner at The Landfill. As I sort of expected, they weren’t. And that is A-OK with me. Overnight flight anyone? No pressure, no guilt is one of my mantras. We’ll have leftover CPP and it also freezes well.
After the bus station, we dropped the city mouse off at her house and then we dropped the country mouse at her house and I made the GG turn around to retrace our route because I had spied Mr. Golden Sun rising as we were heading *to* the rodent’n’raccoon ranch and I wanted to get a pic on the way back. So this is from the eastern terminus of the country road mouse lives on.
In other words, we welcomed our travelers home early but it was an otherwise boring day. I only made one trip to the grock store😵💫 Kathy was there working the guest counter but I didn’t interact with her, trying instead to stay slide the radar.
