Surprise!

Tommy's Lola had planned on coming up for an overnight visit. The plan was for Tita Liz to drive her up on her way back to NYC, but Lola really wasn't feeling up to it after getting struck by allergies in Richmond. So Liz was going to stop in anyway by herself. After I let her in and started visiting, there was a knock at the door. Mr. Oblivious (me) went to answer it, thinking it was the mailman or a delivery, and lo and behold, there was Lola! She had hidden in the alley and walked around the block waiting to make her appearance. Lucky for them, I didn't catch on when Liz said, "We hit traffic on the way up." Real good radar there, Papa...Turns out she couldn't pass up a chance to visit her apo (Tagalog for grandchild). Who can blame her?
