waiting, funny, tip and wow

1. All their flights are booked and paid for! First they visit on Gabriola then here. Patience where art thou? It's so exciting.
2. My sister is so funny sometimes. We are talking about our kids and how as they grow up they need us less and less and rely on each other more. She says, "Eventually mothers take a back seat." I reply, " Oh really, then why am I in the trunk?" 
3. She is engaging and pleasant, never condescending and so I gave her a generous tip. 
4. He got FIVE SALES today! Awesome, amazing...that's my son!
