Just Back...

I got stuck in Minnesota an extra day due to a massive power outage that shut down over half of the Minneapolis St. Paul airport for about 10 hours. I'm sure there are plenty of fun things to do in the Twin Cities but after spending 4 hours sitting on the floor and then 5 (FIVE!) hours STANDING in line all I wanted to do was sleep. Delta put me up in a very nice hotel and fed me until I could get another flight home.

All airport hassles aside, the trip was definetly worth it.

This amazing woman turned 100 years old! She can't get around like she used to and her hearing is less than perfect but she is still very sharp. She is my Mother's sister and the last surviving member of her family. She was totally overwhelmed by the fact that I was there and that made the trip worth it. She also loved that my youngest granddaughter turned 2 on the same day! For a woman who has very few living relatives there was a huge turnout for her party. She's touched a lot of lives. All day she very excitedly introduced me to everyone who came. I'm so glad I made the trip.
