Today was the big day: Chris and Shawn and Anara were due to
arrive this evening. We worked hard to clean the patio, including the screens,
which were black with the wind blown dirt and grime.
Ken cleaned the Texas
room while I did some shopping to stock
up with food for the visitors and other necessities.
Chris called to say their flight had been delayed. Instead
of 10:45 p.m., it was now due at 11:33 p.m. Then he called again from Houston to say that the
flight had been delayed again. The earlier flight to McAllen had been cancelled, so we were
crossing our fingers.
After all the delays, we were delighted when the plane
finally landed. It was nearly midnight when we saw first Shawn and Anara and a
few minutes later Chris walking through the gate into the terminal. Chris
realized suddenly that he didn’t have his iPad! Then he remembered that he had
left it in the seat back pocket. An airport worker retrieved it for him. Crisis
averted.
Lots of hugs and the trip home took us into the wee hours of
Sunday before we all got to bed, tired but glad that everyone was safe and
together.
