Oh my, Shirley/Tubby...Said a prayer as I read your post. Tubby, We miss you already, Hope and praying hard the infection is found and you are on the mend quickly. Shirley, Thank you for keeping us up to date.

Bev, Sorry i missed your birthday while I was gone. i hope it was a good day for you and Scotty. Oh my goodness, i sure hope he will be able to settle down. I sure know how it feels to want to be home. Awe, you captured such a pretty picture of the Robin in the nest! Love it.
Sweetie, yes sure do hope you can get as much rest as possible...Yay, i hope you got my post card too.

LOL, Betty it took 4 waves to get them all written and sent out. I think our list was of about 35 names! It was quite trying to get them written, i finally had to go to the Library in order to stay focused...Not that it was difficult to write, but with all the action going on around, I was tending to watch and listen to everything...ROFLOL, you know me, miss nosey!

Well, Hello Laura! it is so good to see our Wonderhug...Sorry your not well, i hope it doesn't last very long. But how great it is to see you Peeking over the fence. How are things going for you??

Oh, you asked about the coming home, My poor kids, We were to arrive on Tuesday, Jake skipped a Track and Field Meet so all three could pick us up. They were all very disappointed to learn we were not coming. LOL, But they also were highly suprised at the reason, but then we all were. Who would have ever thought of a Volcanic eruption?!? OMG, it was quite the ordeal, most stressfull really was the waiting in lines to re-reserve flights! 5 hours and very very slow. The airport was literally understaffed, they were not equipped for such traumatic event. And the airport in Venice was very small, so it seemed worse then it really was, I think...Plus they had some political air something or other, that kept the airport from operations...All flights were canceled for three days! We were finally able to fly to Spain last Tuesday. We were actually to be home on Tuesday, however, by the Time we were cleared to board the plane in Italy, it was well after out connecting flight so we ended up Spending the night in Madrid Spain!! LOL, we made the best of it...more on that later, but Wednesday...We texted everyone when we landed. Julia and Sabrina came to get us. LOL, As we all hugged and Kissed, Julia told me I couldn't cry...lol, so I just hugged them tight until I could regain my composure... Jacob was more excited to see us when we picked him up from school later in the evening, except that he acted all like it was no big deal. he didn't leave us alone for any more then a couple of minutes that evening...Now Skittles, was so Angry with me! She wouldn't come by me or chatter on with me until Saturday!! i was really bumming that my baby forgot me, lol but she finally realized I wasn't going anywhere, sought me out in my bedroom, she never goes in there...We played and snuggled up, and now she knows I am home, she is back to lovable little chatterbox!

So, at the airport, I took a photo of the Board! LOL, then everyone started taking pictures...Steve was kind of suprised I did, I said, well you know, we are now part of History! You can see all the Canceled flights, OMG, some 200,000 flights canceled in and out of Italy in those Three days. Now, I'm not sure that's the right number for for some reason it sticks to mind.
