Visiting Canyon

Every time we would visit Canyon, Anne would be very excited leading up to our visit. She would call and ask when we were coming every day for sometimes 2-3 weeks before we were scheduled to visit.  Then on the way, she would call us in the car about every hour while we were driving to check on us and see where we were.  You could tell by the sound in her voice how excited she was.  Sometimes, if we were driving late, she would go on and on about how she was waiting up for us and wasn’t going to sleep until we got there.  Then, never fail, as soon as we would pull up in the driveway but before we made it in the house, she would head back to her room and shut the door.  She would act like she was too busy to come say hi.  We would eventually go back to her room and she would be shuffling CDs or stringing beads, never anything very urgent, usually sporting her “O” face.  Priceless
