o-h-i-o

I lived in Columbus for 2 years while I was in high school. During that time I met Diane. She's a bit evil and always judging observing and I adore her. We've been friends ever since.

Diane and her husband, Robert are Annabelle's Godparents. It's been far too long since we've seen them so it was time for a quick visit. Annabelle and I set off for a fabulous weekend together.

We flew out on a tiny little airplane. We had to walk outside and up the plane stairs to board. The crew invited Annabelle into the cockpit. She was an angel on the flight and enjoyed about 47 pieces of gum. She watched "Annie", drew A's and N's with her colored pencils (she's mastering Anna before moving on to the belle...), and slept the last half hour.

Diane made us pineapple upside down cupcakes for our arrival. She is a fabulous baker. Come to think of it, both of my girls' Godmothers are wonderful bakers. Perhaps this was a subliminal driver in asking them...perhaps. Diane made a delicious dinner for us. Robert gave Annabelle chips, juice, raisinettes, all delicious treats. We spent our first night in town at the park swinging. Robert chased Annabelle around the playground. Diane and I caught up. Annabelle was exhausted and in bed early. Diane and I spent the rest of the night chatting away. Wonderful! Really, really wonderful.
