Hunny, we're home!

I just wanted to give an update on the status of the precious glider family that Blissy was so kind to pick up for me today in Indianapolis from our friend Susie. We meet up at the SGGA hotel in Cinci at about 5:30 - I was held up on the I-275 outerbelt connecting to I-71; so, I arrived 30 minutes later than I had expected (I had made great time right after work, but rush hour is so much fun in Cinci! To make a long story short, I also picked up some gliders for a friend, and they are all tucked in for the night in my daughter's bedroom.

I have recently adopted a glider family: mommy (Kiely), Kie (daddy), and Charlie, their four month old son. Once I got them home, I just let them relax a bit, but just as I was about to serve up dinner, I thought I'd better take a good peek, and man, did they crab (I thought I had the lights low enough), but once I dimmed them, WOW! PEACE! Kiely stuck her little nose out of her nestbox and looked at me. I offered to pet her, and she was so sweet! She let me pet her, and then decided to take a walk across my table, and I let her: she needed to stretch out a little. Dad stayed in his house, "the protector" but even he was as sweet as he could be. The surprise was "Little Charlie." Now, I'd been warned that he might be a rather feisty little fellow, but before I knew it, there was a WHOOOOSH! and Charlie was on my shoulder checking me out. He walked around to the other side, and was just like the little girl in "BeetleJuice" Nice... I could live here. and that was that. He just sat on me, and seemed like the happiest little fellow. I was sure he was "going to get me" somehow, haha, but it never happened! He even let John pick him up and hold him.

Susie, if you are reading this, your gliders are wonderful! Just as your little Tink was, when I got her from you about two years ago.

Tomorrow morning, we go in for a vet check, just to make sure things are ok. Updates will be posted later. For now, we're home, everyone's "chowing down" on some nice, fresh, home-made BML... from scratch, of course. John is an expert BML Chef. More updates to come, but for now, since I took a "scenic tour" through Dayton on my way home - cough - I think I'll call it a night and tuck myself in. I picked up I-75 instead of I-71.

Except for an unexpected 30-minute delay, this was a model railroad. Thanks Susie for your babies, they will get the best of care... Blissy, thank you for making this happen, you are phenomenal... and Megskiss... you are an amazing lady! Thanks for meeting up with me at this particular location!

Bourbon, as always... "Thank you for ALL that you do for our gliders and our glider community. "Glider world" is a better place with YOU in it.
