The wedding was lovely and windy as the weather front moved in. The bride was confident and beautiful, the groom suave and calm, the parents only slightly frazzled. My 91 (?) year old great aunt is still a joy to chat with, sharp, witty and totally in command at all times. My sister, brother and I enjoyed reminiscing with relatives. We devoured the delicious food and drink!!! It was a delightful experience, but my eyes were always on the sky.
Clouds, wind and rain are forecast for the Richmond area all this week. The original plan was to sing with the Greater Richmond Chorus on Monday night and depart for the west the next morning. If Tuesday is inclement, Plan B is to sing Tuesday night with Vienna Falls and depart Wednesday. It all depends on the weather. Isolated passing showers is not a total deterrent, I just need a modest safe sunny path to better weather! Driving down to Richmond today I passed three such opportunities, so there is hope.
I'm really looking forward to singing with Greater Richmond tonight. The chorus is much larger than my home group and I expect to be feeling massive harmonious vibrations from all around me!
My journey so far has been solo, not because that was my first choice but because husband is to tall to spend more than two hours in this plane, kids are working, my chorus was performing on a Broadway venue stage, etc, etc, etc.
I had a friend and fellow Lions club member, retired United Airlines pilot Walter, who was quite interested in joining me but for various reasons he bowed out, with regrets, a week before my departure.
Undeterred I elected to fly solo. It's actually been kind of nice. I can arrange all my various stuff wherever I want, and I can really concentrate on the job of flying. But it would kind of be nice to share this once-in-a-lifetime experience so I opened up right seat to several people who have flown with me recently, and I got a taker for the return journey, another semi retired Lion Mike G.
I noticed, he didn't volunteer for eastbound, only westbound. Hmmm. Perhaps he wanted to see if I could find my way to the east coast before he took a chance. Mike has done some flying so that's very helpful. When he volunteered I called his wife to find out if he was serious and if she was okay with all this!! Anyway here's joining me on Tuesday so you may hear about him from time to time.
