No longer on the river and, again, an empty nester. Back to living on Fleming Island and making some more friends!

My forgetful sister

While Lori is here in Manitowoc, she is sleeping in Mom's bed. Mom does her best sleeping in the chair anyway, she claims. Besides, Mom is up with the birds and if Lori was sleeping in the living room, well, that wouldn't work very well. We earlier risers are quiet so that Lori can sleep, as she stays up late and reads. 

When she got up Lori wanted to have an early lunch before she headed for home. First she had to pack her stuff up and we loaded it in the car, remembering her giant kite for Nolan. We went over to Perkin's to have our lunch, Lori treating Mom and me. I took part of mine to-go and as we were checking out, I saw that they had cheese soup as their special. The nice young lady got me some to-go which will go nicely with my leftovers. 

Lori dropped Mom and me off at her apartment and began her long ride home. She had to get there in time to meet a limousine which was taking her Bunco team to their site this evening. One of their friends has a connection which is how they got the limo service for their end-of-year gathering. I know she would really hate to miss that.  

Later in the afternoon, Mom went into her bedroom for something and discovered that Lori left a pair of earrings behind on the dresser. I could mail them to her, but before I could say the words, Mom exclaimed, "Oh, no, she left her computers!"  That girl somehow packed up her suitcase but left a laptop and Kindle behind, and their power cords. Mom instructed me to NOT call Lori, fearing she would drive off the road trying to find her phone, so I sent David a text message to tell him. He couldn't believe it but did not tell me what to do with the machines. Lori had mentioned the possibility of making a return visit so that is what we will go on. Last summer when she left here she accidentally took Mom's set of keys with her, always something!
