Housing for the Muscovy Ducks
ERJ-145
Andy and Ash picked us up as we left the concourse and we were off to our southern home shortly thereafter. The time there was great, we laughed a lot, went grocery shopping a lot, visited a few historic sites, drove both Andy's electric car and Ash's little land-rocket too. I did most of the cooking with Andy and Ash filling in when I was out-of-service. Andy baked his remarkable sourdough breads too which was a real treat! He made a particularly interesting loaf of sourdough rye, excellent by any measure!
Time flew by until just before Kelly's birthday, she caught "a cold" (really the current flu) and shortly thereafter, surprise! I had it too, then Ashley...Andy was most resistant up til then. We were confined to bed much of the time but still took day trips and shopping excursions as necessary, a sniffing all the way!
We had a great time though, played with their Kats and our Kats (separated for both group's safety by the kitchen door. Many evil and curious stares between the groups as we passed in and out of the kitchen.
We stopped imbibing sometime in the second week of our flu experience and have been "dry" since, about a month now. How long will these two Irish blooded folks last? It's a test, we'll see.
We flew home on the 5th of January, both of us sick as hell and stuffed ourselves into the RJ-145 again for a flight to Houston, a change of planes to a real airplane (737-900) then off we flew to Sacramento. We were both basket cases by the time we arrived home by Veteran's Cab, a really professional outfit! 5 STARS!
Now it's the 26th and we are still sleeping in and sniffing, coughing and have diarrhea too boot! No fun at all!
