Airport Adventure

Traveling during the holidays can be a huge stress, but being able to travel is such a blessing. Today we expected to be leaving the Charleston Airport at about 5:30. However due to fog in Charolette, our connecting flight to Colorado, we were delayed and delayed and delayed. Randy and I made use of the morning catching up on our sleep and talking to other passengers. It is sad to see that so many people take there anger out on people who have no control over wheather conditions. I myself would prefer to be safe rather than risk flying in the fog.
So about 6 hours after our original flight time we left Charleston on a changed flight to Dallas Texas. That flight also had delays, and so again we missed our connectin flight. So we waited inline and felt sorry for the ticket agents who have been trying to reange the flights. We now have flight to Colorado at 5:20 and on first class!!!! It pays to be patient.
We are curently waiting at the USO in the Dallas Airport in absolute bliss and luxury. It is a beautiful benifit of being in the US Navy. There is food, entertainment and a place to rest in peace. A soft comfortable recliner is calling my name, so I am going to take a break. It beats a terminal seat and even a choch seat on the plane all to heck. :) We are all smiles and joy.

Our Loss

This past week my Grandma Mary Jane Wright past away. She had been sick for many years, but is now free from mortal pains. As I thought about her and remebered her life, I hoped my life could be so selfless and loving. She Never Forgot anyone and we will never forget her. She always remembered birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays. She sent cards and pakages, all with love. She was divoted to her friends and family. She cared unceasingly for her friends who were sick. Grandma taught with love, giving me a love for music and books. Her home was filled with small delicate treasures, dolls, toys, and she didn't scold us for exploring and playing with all her things. We loved to paly dress up and house when ever we visited.
Her home was full of love and learning. All of us grandkids have story after story of Grandma and Grandpas house. We climed, we ran, we sleded down the hill in the yard or down the stairs to the basment. We sang and played the piano we read her books, and watched Wheel of Fortune and Jepordy with her.
She was a mother of four children, and the grandmother to 11, and a great grandmother of one. Grandma was wise and wonderful and she loved us and we all love her.
She gave many gifts in life, but has left us a most beautiful gift in the end. A legacy, of love, sevice, and faith in our Redeemer. She lived a life following Christ as an example for us to follow. My Grandma Wright was a beautiful and strong woman, who I want to be like. She is one of my heros.
