The best laid plans.......But Happy 90th Mom!

I was in Florida last week on business, and this past Thursday was my Mom's 90th Birthday. I had planed on flying back from Orlando friday night, [which i did ] and then on SAturday morning flying to NY and driving out to Long Island to surprise her.

Well it wasn't for lack of trying and spending my whole saturday at Dulles Airport. The weather in NY and here did not cooperate. Either I was waiting for my plane, having my plane canx, re- booking into LGA vice JFK, having a seat and booking a standby on yet another plane, getting on the plane I was standby for, having the Dulles weather along with NY go crap, sitting on the tarmac for 2 1/2 hours in the plane andt hen having that plane canx.

AFter arriving at 1030 AM, it was now about 6:30PM when the plane pulled back to the gate and I deplaned and headed home. Even the parking lot ticket gate wouldn't let me out easily!

but after calling mom and dad, dad being a nervous wreck since a lot of the roads up there were under water, and they were calmed knowing i was safe and not in some vomit comet trying to land in NY, I wished her a happy birthday. She knew what it took and loved the fact I tried.

"where's my Mommy, Kel?"

Long short story - weather, competing meetings, snow, American Airlines, cancellations. Life sux'd yesterday, and the best laid plans went down the tubes. So I had to leave fuzzy boy behind in the capable hands of Kelley and Mike, our neighbors.
My anxiety has just about over taken me and I miss my little boy so much...and M & K have been great giving me Thrash updates and pix.

Doesn't he really look like he is saying he misses his mommy?

Thrash the explorer

thrash loves to play, eat, sniff , sleep and explore, esp if there are sunbeams involved. He also loves to stick his head thru the slats of railings and does this quite frequently at home. Here, however, he found a new vantage point at the lake house, and instead of coming when he was called he stuck his head thru , as if to say " You calling me?"

Snuggly Buggly.....

I got this dog cave thing from one of the catalogs. It won lots of awards because dogs like to know someone or something has their back. So they like to snuggly in with their back against something, and this little bed does the trick. At first, Thrash couldn't get the hang of it, and would be half in , half out. But yesterday, i went looking for him, and saw that the Thrash cave had a considerable lump and profile. Upon further investigation, viola ! there he was. I couldn't help how cute he looked, so yes , I took more doggie pix....

Isn't he just the cutest thing you ever did see?

Sometimes your dreams seem so real.....

Bad 'fluences!

What is Love?

How do you define love? words? actions? an aching in your heart?
Love is many things to many people...Scooter ponds "what is love"

Sketchs from Melbourne, Fl

Every meet someone who puctuartes their discussions with outbursts of laughs ? at first it just seems light hearted, but as you continue on in the meetings, it is the same tone, but perhaps a social defense mechanism? Haven't quit figured it all out, but prob won't.
