Good afternoon, Y'All!
Hi, Beth! Good to hear from you. Congrats on your success.
Joan, the reunion was wonderful, and so was the food! I managed one plate with small bites of everything I love. There was the traditional homemade lemonade (with sugar), but you have to live sometimes! Anyway, I was so happy that I went, because I got to see so many of my cousins I hadn't seen in a long time. It was great.
The traveling stunk, though. I hate flying, anyway, but when we left here, the weather was horrible in Atlanta with lightning storms, so they had to close the airport there twice! We spent probably twice as much time sitting on the tarmac as we did in the air! We got to our hotel room and got to bed about 4 that morning. Then last night, coming back, the weather was horrible in NY. The plane left about a half-hour late, though, but we were almost in NY when the pilot tells us that JFK airport is totally shut down and we have to fly all the way back to Atlanta??!!
Anyway, when we got to Atlanta, the pilot addresses us again and tells us that they are going to refuel in Atlanta and we are going to fly right back to NY!!!!
Anyway, to make a long story short, we got home at about 5:30 this morning!!!!!
I am going to have to take a couple of rest days--the bed at the hotel where we stayed was too soft, and now my back is bothering me. Icing and taking Advil.
Have a great evening, everyone!
