Well, we've made it home. The plane flight was a tad bumpy, given that we were flying through thunderstorms.

We had breakfast at a local place called Harriet's this morning. They make one heck of a "break fast." James got some pancakes the size of dinner plates. Later we went out for Del's frozen lemonade for the last time. We drove my mom's car. Her mechanic keeps telling her there's nothing wrong with it. Hm. There's nothing wrong with a car that stalls out several times after you start it, or if you put it in drive, or if you stop for traffic or at a stoplight. Nothing at all. Snort.

James was hinky about going through security since they were issuing dire warnings of two hour wait times and we ended up at the airport an hour and a half over two hours early. I've never dropped off a rental car so fast. The guy took our stuff out of the trunk, said, "Was the car okay? Did you enjoy our service?" and gave me the receipt! Plus the van to the airport was right there and they waited for us.

After all that security didn't take long at all. It was that self-baggage check that was a pain in the butt. The line kept stopping because people had forgotten to take stuff out of their suitcases before sending them on. They scan your bags and then and only then you can go to your gate.

So we spent some time looking through the various gift shops. I was amused to see bottles of coffee syrup there for sale!

We got in at nine. We had the last baggage carousel and our parking lot transportation was down at the end of a row. We certainly had exercise!!! Stopped at the grocery on the way home and put everything away right away so we wouldn't have to bother with it tomorrow.

Sniff. And so it's over. If only a workday went so quickly as a vacation day!
