Not Tonight Dear~

~Rain~

My husband has been away for over two weeks on a Tarpon fishing trip to the Florida keys.
Tonight:
The Airline: Is this Mrs. G?
Me: Who's asking please?
The airline: This is "the airline"
Me: Yes?
The Airline: The flight # 1234 has been canceled, no further information available.
Me: Is everything alright?
The Airline: The flight # 1234 has been canceled, no further information available.
Me: Excuse me???
DEAD AIR!

~Rain~

No panic, these things happen and it's pouring here, so it must be due to the rain in NY or Washington-or somewhere.

Mr. G was suppose to arrive here at home tonight around 8:30. I would likely be in bed reading with the dogs near-by. We would all welcome him back home and be very happy we were once again under the same roof.


~...and more rain~

After a brief phone conversation with Mr. G, it appears that he may be able to get back at some point very late tonight or maybe 'Not Tonight Dear".

The one available flight is over-booked- but I think he may be sweet-talking someone, somewhere. He has early appointments tomorrow- which will be interesting. The moral to this whole post is not to tell you my woes.

Mostly it's because found this fabulous graphic downpour.


It is to suggest that whenever traveling late in the day- perhaps not to schedule appointments of even work the following day. Pad the vacation for one more day.

It's a much more pleasant re-entry from your vacation, gives you some wiggle room in the event of torrential downpours and it makes the dogs a lot happier when they can sleep through the night.

Welcome Home Dear! We really have missed you terribly.

  2. Oh Debra, I felt a little reluctant to visit you today for fear I was intruding into something a smidge 'personal'. Just shows you I definitely need to clean up my dodgy mind! Hope your boy arrives home tonight & I just love your interactive graphic!

  3. How fortunate that I was wearing my wellies and my rain hat.
    It usually does the trick to fend off further downpours and bring on the sun. Enjoy the return of the sun, the moon and the stars.
    Lovely graphics.

  5. That is a very cool little picture! We have learned to "pad" the vacation by a day - you are right - it makes it so much easier!! Hoping you and your sweety and have a great day together.

  10. That image is really stunning. We have had so much rain in south Fl the last couple of weeks. I hope the Keys had some sun. The storms have been extreme! We actually had hail yesterday...imagine ice falling from the sky when the temperature is in the high 80's! Hope he is home soon...safe and dry.
