I’ll Be Home for the Holidays
Posted in Once I Was a Kansas Girl and tagged with Holidays, Random, Travel on December 23, 2008Right about this hour, I’m leaving mild North Carolina for wintery Kansas. Brrr! I hope I remembered to pack my gloves and scarf; I tend to forget them.
If you think about it, pray that I’ll make it to my destination, and if they’re delays, for patience. I’m traveling through O’Hare and it’s supposed to be less than pleasant weather. Last year I wasn’t expecting to be delayed a day and my bag another 2 days though I was, but this year I am. Guess I’ll do lots of reading and writing in the airport!
In completely unrelated news, I looked out the window and noticed that there is a pine tree with hundreds of pine cones on it in its highest branches, 40-50 feet off the ground (I’m pre-writing this a week ahead of time). I wonder how bad it would hurt if one of those were to hit you on the head? What about two or three? How many bumps on the head from pine cones traveling 40 feet would it take to knock someone out? How far up the tree would you have to crawl to shake them out?
With those bits of randomness, Merry Christmas! Talk to you on the other side!
