My poor parents....

I started off the day rushing to get Pepper to school. My wonderful mom played with the kids and I got to sleep in until 9AM!! I took pepper in, came back and got my mom and dad off to the airport. I dropped them off at about 11AM, at 2PM they called to say that their flight was totally cancelled and that they had a flight at 5PM to Dallas and then to Guatamala tomorrow. THe airline said that they would get them a hotel in Dallas. Well at around 5 mom called to say that the flight wasn't going out until 6:30. She has just called me again to say that the flight was cancelled again and the airline was getting them a hotel here in DC next to the airport and they are going to fly out tomorrow at 7AM. They have been sitting in that airport all day. I asked her if they had dinner or if the airline offered them some food. She said NO. I told her to go ask for vouchers before they went to the hotel. She asked and they gave her a voucher for anything they wanted to eat at the airport restaurant, so she's eating steak!!! Good for her.

Speaking of airplanes, let me just take a second to say how wondrous God is. Those 150 people that left LaGuardia on a routine trip and landed in the hudson surely have seen God's power. The pilot, what an outstanding and quick thinking guy to be able to land that plane with no panic and NO INJURIES! How many lives he saved on top of the people on that airplane is amazing. And the fact that those water taxis were right there to save them and pull those FREEEEZING people out of the water was phenomenal!

Well off of my soap box....that's it in a nutshell...for today.
