This morning, I enjoyed sleeping in a bit. Not a lot but a bit.
Yesterday was a long day with traveling in the airplane and airports. It's not my favorite thing to do, but it went really well. We did have to be de-iced before we left Louisville, because it was starting to snow. Then we waited a bit before we could take off. We were about 30 minutes late. Once we were on our way, it was nice.
We arrived at DFW airport. OMG! That place is worse than any airport I have been in. I thought Houston was bad being so far behind in the times, but DFW is even worse. Trams all over the place! We had to get on the tram to go from our arrival station to the departure station. Took longer than I expected and the best part was we didn't walk! It would have taken a couple hours to get where we needed to be.
We left DFW airport after waiting another 30 minutes for them to fix the screw that was off in the engine. I was wondering if we would have to depart and go to another plane, but nope. We had a very good captain on the flight! He was a marine pilot and made sure we knew what was going on the whole time. It was great. Told Patrick since he was military that made me feel a whole lot better!
A few miles from Portland. I was surprised at all the lights.
Finally, we arrived home at 9:30 pm. Long day, no time to blog.
This morning, I was having to get ready for the veteran's ceremony. We had a good group show up as well. We were introduced and then Donna did an awesome job of letting them know about each veteran. She really made us proud! Photos will have to wait; I couldn't get them loaded. Frustrating!
Susy's son-in-law, Samuel Shankster got this quilt. He really loves it.
The guest speaker received this one. Charles Burt was awesome. He's amazing with all the paintings he has done! And he has Parkinson's!
Mom and I joined Mike McCoy - whom I have known since I was about 14 years old. He worked for my father in the Air Force. We chatted about dad and Diane, who passed recently. I was so good to chat about the past. Mom and he laughed about a few things as well. His son was with us. We went out to eat. So, the chattering went on from about 3 pm to 6 pm. Amazing how we could talk about the past so easily. I miss dad and Diane. But as long as they are in my heart, I know they are with me.
Came home and played my games for a bit. It's been another long day. I will load the photos tomorrow. I did work on the photos I posted the last couple days while on the tablet. I fixed a few things as well. lol
It was a great trip, loved seeing Sue. Now we are back, and back to normal. Patrick went to the casino to get our gift - they were out. I guess Sunday, they gave them all out. So, we will go Sunday, I'm thinking, because these are gifts I do want. At least he came home with some money to play with. lol
I haven't been Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
