Mom arrived back in town this morning with Hope & Aunt Virginia, after an all-night drive from Kansas City. Mom admitted to having snoozed a little in the car; otherwise, she might have pulled off the second all-nighter of her life, scant months after what she claims was her first, which she spent cleaning her office.
We left them alone for a few hours to snooze before heading over for the afternoon.

Just before we left, I kissed Aunt Virginia goodbye. "I'm 81," she said, "going on 82. I know I can't live much longer. And I really want to see the people who are coming after me. I'm proud of you."
By now--assuming they've found all their toothbrushes, pillows, keys, and the cat--she and Hope should be on the road heading east in another all-nighter in their pickup truck.
