Upon our return to Istanbul, my computer power cord decided it was time to take its own vacation and went to permanent sleep. At least I’m only 2 days away from being able to recharge. Josh and I have fraternal twin computers — the same in almost all respects except the charging ports are different shapes. Of course. That means no blog posts except for what I can tap out on my phone.
She’s wearing her new handwoven scarf/dish towel on her head “like a real human.” I don’t know where she gets this stuff from.
We had a Christmas miracle. One child had the iPad on the airplane and put it away in their backpack before landing. The backpack pocket wasn’t zipped and the iPad must have slipped out onto the airplane floor under their seat when they got up to leave. No more iPad. (Thus the reason they are all huddled around their only remaining electronic device).
Calls to the airports, airline and lost and found turned up empty and we told the kids they could pray it would be found and turned in, but that would be an actual miracle. Well, they got one. The next morning thr airline called Josh to say they had it and we could come pick it up. Amazing.
I guess the rest will have to wait until we get home and I have computer power again. Till then, happy new year!
PS: No exciting New Year’s Eve plans for us. We’ll have dinner in a few minutes, maybe get some coffee and hole up in our warm hotel room for the rest of the evening. Not much different than a normal evening at home, except tonight I have a new huge Turkish towel that is as thick as a blanket and I’ve been wrapping it around me like a cape … it’s a Rockin’ New Year’s Eve for sure!
