found myself back in winter...

 







It's amazing we live in a time when one fly from a warm sunny day to a cold snowy afternoon in a matter of two hours, sixteen minutes.  That's how long, from take-off to landing, to get from Orlando to Siberacuse, as the pilot called it.

Never mind that technology glitches and air travel isn't perfect, our flight home was canceled and we got to had to stay another day.  

Sonja and Char...
Me with Cam...
Our extra day:  Sonja had to fly home by herself because classes started, so we just bought her another ticket.  Paul had to work from home/grandma's house,  so took the girls to a park...



Then a few hours by the pool, ahh that sunshine!
Saying goodbye to Grandma was extra hard this time.  She's very frail and very forgetful.  


I almost forgot this picture, one of the best parts of the trip:  Culver's custard, berry cobbler.  

Anyway, we stayed another day...I've contacted the airline and expressed displeasure, we had pay over two hundred dollars to extend the rental car by one day.  We'll see what they say.

Home...ah ,home.  Early out the door to the grocery store, before the snow got bad....then home, ahh....home.  Meatballs for dinner, with thin spaghetti...

The kids will be here soon...Achilles and Rhys are coming for five days...
