The girl flies home

The girl was flying home last night so taking advantage of another 85 mile drive into the Queen City, I picked up a few things at Costco and about 15 pounds of organic tofu at the Trader Joe's.  AND I got to spend the evening with my lovely friend in "Uptown" Charlotte:


She made me a wonderful Blueberry Martini:


And wonderful dinner, including grilling my tofu--delish!  It was a wonderful way to wait for the girl's flight to come in, especially since it was delayed by 2 hours and she didn't land until 11:30:


Which of course, made for a tired drive back, especially after stopping at the truck stop Subway because the girl didn't eat anything on her 2-turned-5 hour flight. At least she shared some of her SoCal adventures and told me she sat next to and chatted with Abby Roulston, a young volleyball player who just finished training in Colorado and is expecting to compete in the 2016 Olympics for Team USA. Sounds like it capped off a great trip for her!
