Emily spent most of the day packing up and weighing suitcases. . . when she was ready for a break, Grant, Emily and I went to see the movie Shrek 3 and then went to Chick-Filet for dinner (Grant's favorite place!). On Sunday morning, we all went to church at E. 91st Street for a change and then on to lunch at Bravo's (thanks to the gift card that Dee gave us last summer). We sat outside on a beautiful patio, decorated with lots of flowers and overlooking a peaceful pond with ducks and geese (with babies!). After lunch it was time to head home and prepare to go to the airport. Grant left to run an errand and Emily and Danny went to make copies of her passport and license.
We left for the airport early in case the race got called (there was a rain delay). Emily checked in with no problem and we shopped at the bookstore and went for a bite to eat. Emily and Grant left to check the flight board and found that her flight had been delayed and would now arrive after her connecting flight to London would have departed. After some scrambling, she made it onto another flight and all was well. Emily has started her own site with details about her ordeal. We will all miss her very much and we're excited for her big adventure. The family she is staying with will be a perfect fit. I received an e-mail from them today that described the weather as awful, so they did puzzles and ate cake!
