I'm sure that most of us have a memory of some unusual, unplanned, unexpected, unforgettable event during the Christmas season; creating a number of responses. I would love to hear your story. Here's our story...

On Christmas Eve, our daughter and family were coming from their island home off the coast of Seattle, Washington to celebrate Christmas with her Canadian family; a rare experience for all of us. At the airport, our son-in-law was told that the documentation that he uses when crossing the border on business was not acceptable when traveling by air on the holiday. He would need to show his valid passport, which was still in a safe place at their home. Depending on the ferry schedule, it could take him at least three hours to get it and return to the airport. By that time, their flight would be near their Canadian destination. And... would there be a seat available on a later flight? Thankfully, he arrived in the evening, just in time for the dessert and coffee (and a calming drink from the bar!)

Today, we are collectively anticipating the arrival of relatives from England. We do know that they are on their correct flight. So far... so good!

Life certainly is an adventure. Stay tuned... there may be more to come!
