Slumber Party

This weekend was my slumber party weekend with my daughter.  I had mentioned it to client on the East Coast yesterday.

I'm having a slumber party this weekend with my 28 year old daughter.  What are you doing this weekend?

I received a reply.

When I first read your email I read "slumber party" and then saw "28".  My first thoughts were, "28 girls at a slumber party"?  Then I reread it.  I'm headed to Nashville for the weekend.  Enjoy your weekend with your daughter.

The main feature of our agenda for the weekend was to watch the new BBC production of Jane Austen's "Emma".  We went to Albertson's to pick up some dinner food, had dinner and watched "Star Trek".  We finally were ready to begin watching Emma at 1:30 am.  We watched the first hour of the four hour epoch before turning in.  I love Chanel's little apartment.

Today, after a leisurely morning and a more than late breakfast we watched the other three hours of "Emma".  I quite enjoy Jane Austen and the view of the era she creates.

After stopping at the home of a workmate of Chanel's for an open house for her husband who just graduated from BSU, we finally arrived home at about 7:30 this evening.  Jana was her animated and joyful self.  She actually came outside to welcome me home as I brought in my overnight gear.  (Jana always chides me for taking more than I need when I go overnight anywhere.)

I love coming home to Jana. Her smile and constantly cheerful disposition is a loving thing. By nature she's a happy person.  She makes our home a loving place.
