On her way home

This morning Linda and I were up early, even before Justin, to head out to the airport. I checked her flight first to make sure it was on time so we didn't waste a trip. We successfully got the luggage into the trunk, having gotten all the soda carried upstairs (16+ cases!), freeing up the space. Will need to restock!

We had the roads pretty much to ourselves and successfully got her delivered to the kiosk. A nice older man came over to help get her luggage out of the trunk and off she went. She texted me from the gate area, saying she was good to go. The best part of having to rebook was now she was changing planes in ATL rather than Denver, making for a shorter flight for her.

Justin, Linda, and I ventured out for dinner last night, the winds having quieted. Linda had not been to La Nopalera since she arrived so that was our destination. We left after The Five was over which proved too late for getting a parking place at La Nop. Cars and trucks were pulled up on the grass with no spots being available. Justin pulled right back onto the street and I directed him to the next driveway, which was Metro Diner. We had dined here for breakfast last Saturday but dinner is different. I had the patty melt, Justin the Vortex burger (two grilled cheese sandwiches, 1/4 pound meat patty, slaw, formed into a burger), and Linda ordered the stuffed beefsteak tomato. It had chicken salad in it. Justin and I ate half our sandwiches and took our side of soup home with us, too. Love their broccoli cheddar soup!

Linda and I had started watching "Les Miserables" but neither of us got into it. The run time was 2 1/2 hours but after about 45 minutes, we shut it off. They lost me with the teeth pulling scene---ugh! I can watch Law & Order episodes and not blink, but not teeth pulling. The DVD was a gift to me from Jackie V. for my birthday. I wonder if she's seen it. I should offer it to her for viewing at home. 

Time for me to go meet my lady friends at Grumpy's for breakfast before they head to church to clean. Good for them, for their dedication and ability to still do so. Terri had gotten some shots in her knees and seems to be doing better, for which I rejoice for her. Welcome relief! I'm feeling Grumpy today, especially after saying good-bye to my friend at the airport this a.m.
