Tuesday, the long trip home

We flew back on Tuesday. Our flight was scheduled to leave at 11:55am so we did not have to wake up ridiculously early. Heather and I managed to take a walk and I showed her a garlic plant that I saw on my walk the night before.

We made it through security without any problems. We breezed right through unlike two people behind us who managed to lose their id's in Vegas. Oops! They got the full pat-down/scan.

On our way to the gate, we passed a man who was having a difficult time walking in a straight line. In fact, he was stumbling around quite a bit. Once at the gate, we spotted him at the counter to our gate. The next time we saw him, he was being wheeled away in a wheelchair. It didn't look like he was going to make his flight. We surmised how much one has to drink to be that drunk, what happened to him in Vegas to be that drunk, and did he get drunk after security because if he came through security like that, wow.

We then noticed that the flight was delayed. If you remember Tuesday, it was really windy. At least where we were flying from and flying to. We ended up only being a half hour late. Jenny picked us up from the airport. We stayed the night at her house. We got to play with this cutie,

meet Stella. Jenny and John's puppy. 

She's only 5 1/2 pounds. We met her before we left, but I didn't take a picture until we got back. She slept in my lap that night as we sat around talking, laughing and sharing stories.

I'm thankful for good friends, cute puppies and vacations.
