Well, on my business trip to Chapel Hill, I was with my colleague and we were so close to the airport that I had to go take a "look see" to see if they had cleaned up the site any more. He was also very curious as he was sitting in my office when I found out about the crash. (Used to work together at the same company and now work together in the new company). The orange "crime scene tape" as I like to call it, is still on the fence and can clearly be seen from the airport parking lot. It appears there are no plans to repair the fence. There was very little, if any, debris on the ground. I rummaged around and the only thing I got was poison ivy! I felt nothing - it was just me walking around an airport runway and explaining to a colleague what happened and where it happened and all that stuff. We stayed less than 10 minutes. It started raining as we were leaving, and I said to my colleague that I think that was Tom's way of telling me to get out of there and not go back! LOL! Well, I will abide by that. No need for me to go back, even if I am in Chapel Hill again on business. Some really funny things happened on this business trip that reminded me of Tom and I had some really good laughs over them.
I appreciate the comments that were made on my last post about remembering the date and time thing. You are all right ... the exact date and time on a monthly basis is really not that important. I suspect I will always remember it on the "year" anniversary and certainly will remember other important dates like his birthday and our wedding anniversary, which is coming up on October 1st. And of course, during our annual vacation to Anguilla (which I did book again for January). I do miss him very much and still think he is going to walk through the front door any minute. I do have to wonder how long that will last.
I am keeping quite busy with the new job - lots of travelling - which I really enjoy. I've done some redecorating around the house and managed to figure out how to re-caulk the bathtub. Amazing what you can find online.
That's all for now.
