Yesterday was a surprisingly easy travel day for us. I relaxed around the Marriott most of the morning, went to breakfast with my son Tom, had French toast coated with frosted lakes and cinnamon, quite good actually, while Evie and her sisters went back to the Mullens to finish cleaning up and say another good by to Pat and Leah. They both seemed in decent shape after a difficult day, and Leah was up early and made breakfast for her father and Grandma Dorothy, She flew back to college, Nevada Reno, in early afternoon.
We left for the airport with Tommy, still suffering from a terrible sinus infection, around 12:30, to an airport about as crowded as I have seen. As we sat waiting for a flight, a non stop line of passengers, all ages, nationalities, shapes, and colors streamed by, either coming or going to Vegas. Amazing, at least for me, that Vegas is such an attraction to people still. Where's the recession, this cannot just be the top 2%? Our flight was on time, I got a seat in the emergency row with no seat in front, so I could stretch my legs. What a change from flying out. And the flight took three and a half hours, versus the five plus hours on Friday. No turbulence, and even Evie seemed to enjoy some of the flight, especially when we flew over the snow covered Rockies. The Buffalo Airport was cold but not as cold as the 5º Friday morning. I picked up my car, and we drove home, another easy, snow less and ice less hour and a half drive, as Evie and I talked the entire way. The house was in good shape, thank goodness, and we stayed up till about 1:00 before going to be tired but happy to be home in our own bed, especially Evie. It's been a very difficult two weeks for her. Now we want to enjoy winter and Chautauqua for a couple of months before Spring arrives. It may be Wednesday as the temperatures are supposed to be in the fifties before dropping again on Thursday or Friday.
