Lulu - her Mom Betty - her Aunt Delores - and her Cousin Georgianne.
Last spring - Lulu had a visit from her mother - her aunt - and her cousin. They all came to Tallahassee to spend a week in the warm weather. They reminded me of the 4 Golden Girls on television.
Two weeks ago - Lulu was invited to sit on a panel at the New York Public Library on 5th Avenue in NYC. They offered her a nice stipend and an all-expense paid trip to the Big Apple which included a Marriott Hotel room across the street. Right away Lulu called her Mom and asked if she wanted to spend 3 days in the city with her. She also asked her aunt and cousin to fill out the party.
It is 5 AM - I just put Lulu on a plane here in Tallahassee. By noon she will be in her hotel room. Lulu flies so much now she has a Gold Medallion card. You get it for flying 50,000 miles a year. With it - she gets upgraded to first class almost every flight. On this flight she is flying first class.
The other three will be traveling from Tamaqua by TransBridge Bus.
Lulu's library gig will be over in an hour. The rest of the time they will spend shopping - dining - and going to Broadway shows and comedy clubs.
In December - Lulu had another presentation in NYC. On that time she invited her 3 cousins to come stay. They had so much fun - Lulu thought it would be years before she did that again. Here - a few months later - it is deja vu. This is like having your cake and eating it too. Lulu has lost over 20 pounds in the least 5 months - I hope she does not have too much cake.
Lulu plans to be home on Saturday to see the UNC at Duke basketball game on TV. She is leaving 3 days that are expect to hit 80 degrees in Tallahassee. Up North they are having a snow and ice storm. I am home alone with the house and weather to myself. We are all winners :-)
