Laura in Deep River

Laura likes to stay busy.  So I had made a number of plans for us.  One of the plans was to take her up to Deep River to see Sarah during the week that she was visiting.  Unfortunately there was some miscommunication and Sarah didn’t know we were coming.  Sarah was going out for dinner with her friends from the residence the night we came to visit.  They were saying goodbye to one of the guys who was leaving at the end of the term.  Sarah really didn’t have time for us.  But she invited us to dinner with all of her friends at a local Mexican restaurant.  Then after dinner, she played the good host and showed Laura around Deep River.

A couple of days later, Laura and I drove to Deep River again to pick up Sarah and bring her back to Ottawa for the weekend.  There was no need to drive to Deep River during the week.

Laura’s Passport Problem

Laura decided to go to New York for her birthday then visit us on the way back to Halifax.  

First, though, she had to find her passport.  She didn’t realize that she needed her passport until the last minute.  Then she couldn’t find it.  She had packed up all of her stuff.  A friend took all the stuff to a farm out of town and put in a storage shed.  Laura doesn’t have a car in Halifax.  So she had to get a ride to her friend’s house.  She and her friend’s boyfriend searched the shed, unpacking all of her stuff, throwing it around the shed.  They finally found the passport.  Then she had to rush to the airport to make her flight.

Laura had a complicated itinerary.  She flew from Halifax to New York where she stayed with a friend from NSCAD who had already graduated and was working as an artist in New York.  She stayed there for a few days. Then she took an overnight bus from New York to Ottawa and Barb picked her up at the bus station early in the morning.  She stayed with us for a week.  Then she went back to Halifax with a friend and her friend's boyfriend by car.  I dropped her off at her friend’s boyfriend’s mother’s house in Orleans on the night before she went back.
