Home Sweet Home....
As Predicted, our flights home were interesting. First, we saw a 20 minute delay posted when we checked in. Twenty minutes 4 hours in advance is subtantial. Then around "boarding time" we saw it had changed to an hour and 15 minute delay ( no surprise there). Of course we had an hour and 15 minute turn time in PIT soooooooooo that did not bode well for our making our connection. We checked back with the agents and they said our connecting flight was also showing a delay from 10:15 to 11:25....we'd be fine. ( We also all launched into a tirade against Mesa Air which operates as USAir express out of PIT and PHL...the agents we talked to said they were horrible and secretive.) We got to PIT( 10:15)checked the monitors which still said our flight was leaving at 11:25 but we walked on down to the gate anyway...thank goodness. We were in sight of the gate and commented on how the whole concourse looked like a ghost town when what should I hear but the "final boarding " announcement for the flight to Burlington. Excuse me...the monitors were still saying it was an hour off. I made a few comments when we approached the gate and they were letting us on and she ever so sweetly reminded me that delays are "subject to change all time" and "to calm down, you made the flight". ( Why are people always telling em to calm down? That makes me crazy when they say that!) Greg ushered me along knowing I was about to blow up....gggrrr. The guy who "thought we weren't coming" and had made himself quite comfy in our exit row seats, was not thrilled to see us either. *I* told him to think again and continued to sputter for a while. ( Hmmmm shades of my mother that I ought to try to control) We've decided if this ever comes up again, we will be taking our trips through LaGuardia instead of PIT or PHL if possible...it's a different regional jet service than Mesa. How bad is that for a commentary on air service...we CHOOSE to go to LGA! Yeah, well, I often enjoy running barbed wire up my nose too. We were shocked our bags made the flight but they did....not enough for redemption but it was a plus.
It was fairly picked up when we left and the kitties didn't make much of a mess while we were gone. Sometimes they have parties......well it looks that way. ~elmo barfs sometimes...what else could it be except excess partying. hhhmmm....Hairball?
The lawn needs mowing but I haven't got to that yet....maybe today.
Our Powerlink is messed up ... we had to resort to
I have new Flamingo Flip Flops my Grandchildren sent to me....clever kiddies. I looked online at the Gap to show you but I didn't see them there.
We watched 2 movies last night...."How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" and "The Phonebooth"......I liked them both.
Our new tenant moved in...I think Knoel met Otis last night. Not pretty. Knoel doesn't like dogs.....Otis isn't staying long though; he's going to FL.
Happy Sunday all....Hey where did the sun go? Why is it not warm out there?
