FOWC with Fandango — Delay
For the last six years … maybe a bit longer … Rich Paschall has been working with us on Serendipity. We never met but we lived in hope. This weekend, he is here.
It only took six years … and his flight out of Chicago was 131 minutes delayed. I know because that’s what it said on the Spirit Airlines arrivals information. A long delay and made even longer by airport delays. I have to assume it was weather-related. There are storms everywhere across North America and it was raining here, too.
Aren’t we glad that climate change is a Chinese piece of fake news? Who knows what it would be like were it true!
I don’t have any pictures because he is still sleeping … wearing off Chicago time. Garry has a luncheon and is doing his long prep time in the shower and I’m trying to drink this coffee and I think I’m going to go make a new pot. This stuff is not great. I think it got stale.
I can’t believe it’s another gray, damp day. Will the rain gods ever leave town? Maybe it will brighten up later? We can surely hope!
Rich has filled in for me when I was sick … which has been far too often. He has always been here, even though he has been there. A welcome guest and a good friend. Who says online friends aren’t the “real deal”?
So Rich is finally here and remarkably, he is exactly like the person I expected. Sometimes, things are indeed what you expect. In a good way.

Isn’t it amazing how a blogger you’ve known for years turns out to be exactly like you pictured him/her when you finally meet in person? That’s happened to me several times. I guess we come to know each other so well through our words and pictures that we become like family to each other.

IF it doesn’t rain tomorrow, that would help, but it’s been pretty sodden here all day. We got about two minutes of almost sun and then more rain. Oh well.

How wonderful to meet! The rain is endless here too. So dreary and cold for June. Enjoy your visit despite what the weather throws at you!

It’s good to meet. I’m REALLY hoping we have a nice day tomorrow. It’s pretty here when you can get outside. I don’t remember a wetter spring and June.

I was hoping to show him around the area, but the rain has been pretty constant. Conversation is good, too.

After yesterdays entire day washout, I didn’t think it was supposed to rain today. Looks like a downpour all day today as well… Anyway, glad you finally got to meet Rich and that he is there. Hope you all enjoy the visit!

Harvey PROMISED us a sunny day. And it’s another wash. Well, at least the well is full I guess. No more dry aquifers!

I think there will be a lot of talking but hopefully a chance to get out and show him the neighbourhood too.
