Since NJ is one of the three readers of this blog, I want to be sure this is here \ud83d\ude00 (xoxo, NJ!)<\/p>\n<p>****************<\/p>\n<p>I virtually never take people to the airport when the leave from a visit. I usually have some good reason: have a work deadline, need to cover a nap for a kid&#8230; and I don&#8217;t love to drive that much. So Jim almost always does it.<\/p>\n<p>Now I know the real, subconscious reason I don&#8217;t like the airport thing: It&#8217;s sad. I took Nancy Jane to the airport today and I felt kinda sad all day long. Just to be clear &#8211; I always miss her when she leaves. I guess I just get to kind of gloss it over and get busy really quick so it doesn&#8217;t feel so&#8230; well, dramatic. Let&#8217;s face it &#8211; airports are just kind of dramatic feeling. All the people hugging at the curb and carrying big giant suitcases. They are <em>leaving<\/em>. That&#8217;s just kind of sad.<\/p>\n<p>Not to be all depressing because we had such a lovely visit with NJ. She and Jim skied two days and they both kicked some serious booty on the slopes, I hear. (They were the ones telling me the stories&#8230; I&#8217;m just saying :-b) We ate lots of delicious food (a benefit of NJ visits each of both times per year) and had tons of great conversations. NJ even helped me get a really important work thingy done. Just goodness all around.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some photos to give you a little window into the visit. I already can&#8217;t wait to see you in May, NJ! xo.<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"288\" height=\"192\" data=\"http:\/\/picasaweb.google.com\/s\/c\/bin\/slideshow.swf\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\"><param name=\"flashvars\" value=\"host=picasaweb.google.com&amp;hl=en_US&amp;feat=flashalbum&amp;RGB=0x000000&amp;feed=http%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Fmichellebfranco%2Falbumid%2F5432768265439392753%3Falt%3Drss%26kind%3Dphoto%26authkey%3DGv1sRgCJim4M7p052-Qg%26hl%3Den_US\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/picasaweb.google.com\/s\/c\/bin\/slideshow.swf\" \/><\/object><\/p>\n<p><object width=\"288\" height=\"192\" data=\"http:\/\/picasaweb.google.com\/s\/c\/bin\/slideshow.swf\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\"><param name=\"flashvars\" value=\"host=picasaweb.google.com&amp;hl=en_US&amp;feat=flashalbum&amp;RGB=0x000000&amp;feed=http%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Fmichellebfranco%2Falbumid%2F5432769140823041905%3Falt%3Drss%26kind%3Dphoto%26authkey%3DGv1sRgCMbJnaWhyb6S2QE%26hl%3Den_US\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/picasaweb.google.com\/s\/c\/bin\/slideshow.swf\" \/><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>*Somehow this never got posted&#8230; * It&#8217;s from January.
