Vorlon Whispers

It's been a long day. I woke up at 4:30 and got up at 4:45. I went to the Easter Sunrise Service at the park by the marina. During the service, the sun came up over the canal. It was a beautiful site. I went over to the church for bagels and coffee and then came home to make my Waldorf Salad and pack up the car. I went to my brother, Don's to go to the 11:00 service at Holmes Presbyterian Church. We sat with my other brother, Rick and his wife Sylvia. One of the ladies, Debbie, whose husband works with Don, saw me and asked where I was going to sit. I sat over here with my brother. She looked at Don and said "What brother?" I said, "Rick and motioned toward him. (I was waiting for a friend who was talking to Rick and Sylvia to finish and move out of the pew.) Debbie looked surprised. She didn't know there was another brother.

After church, we got a couple sandwiches at WaWa for lunch and I took Danny for a walk. It was getting hot out and I wasn't dressed for summer. Don and I went up to the cemetery to take the flowers for our parents grave and for Ted's grave. It was 80 degrees by this time. When we got back, we packed up the car with food and flowers and headed for Rick and Sylvia's for dinner. She had both ham and roast beef for dinner with green beans, potatoes Au gratin, scalloped apples, and my Waldorf salad. Don brought a Key Lime Pie. I was too full, too hot and too tired for dessert. I took Danny around the block and then we exchanged our Easter flowers and I gave the children and Don chocolate rabbits. Sylvia gave us some food to take home and my dessert. Don drove me back to his house where I packed up the rest of my stuff and headed for home.

Interstate 95 divides into two expressways around the city of Wilmington, DE. I almost always take the 495 route. This time, most of the traffic was headed for 495 so I stayed on 95. The car in front of me was only going 60 so I tore around him and saw the speed limit was only 55. I slowed down and thought, "No wonder all the cars were taking 495, the speed limit is 65." 95 goes through downtown Wilmington while 495 skirts around to the east and is a lovely drive along the Delaware River. I only took 95 one other time going north. The exit to my friends house is on 95 but not 495. I learned that one time when I thought I missed the exit and had to go to the next one to turn around. It seems you can get off going south but not north.

Well, it's been a long day.
