Good morning - I think! This has been a weekend to remember to put it mildly; in fact I might write a book about it. First - my deepest sympathies and prayers to all the people in the areas that have been hit by tornadoes the past two days - Joplin MO, areas in KS, Minneapolis, etc. I can sympathize a little because these storms truly interrupted a LOT. After a glorious wedding in MN of my daughter, we all headed to the airport in Minneapolis Sunday to take our respective flights to OH, several to NY and two of us to KY. Needless to say, everyone's plans were changed rapidly. My flight out of Minneapolis was cancelled after I was up at 4:30 am to make connections. Instead of laying over at O'Hare and on to Louisville; with only minutes to spare and a lot of walking/running/riding, I got on a flight instead to Dallas, TX and then hopefully back to L'ville. Well, I made it to Dallas (one of my old home areas), but saw more of that airport than I really wanted to. I was booted off 3 flights (even with confirmed reservations - weather) and spent a LONG day trying to find a flight back to Louisvillle. Of course, my luggage was already resting comfortably in Louisville, but I was sitting at DFW from 11:30 am until 7:30 last night. Finally, I got on a flight and thought home was nearing closer. Then the tornadoes hit in MO & KS. Some of our wedding party were still stuck in Minneapolis until late last night! We boarded the plane, taxied out to the taxiway ... and sat there for 1 1/2 hours because the airport at DFW was shut down. I do not like sitting in a plane during a tornado warning with lightning hitting all around us, torrential rains and the plane shifting back and forth! We finally took off sometime after ten and the pilot had to fly many directions as storm warnings were issued; if we could have seen the ground I think we went way east, then way north, then circled Stanford Field until we could get clearance to land. We stumbled off after midnight and thankfully I found my missing pull along suitcase with meds I was supposed to take at 6 pm. With the assistance of some dear friends from this list (Thank you!) we reached my car in another town and I hit the road for a 90 minute drive back to Glasgow, getting home at 1:30 this morning. After assuring my cats that it was really me, I sent a few emails to the family and I was out like a light - until the storms hit here at 4 am (not bad). So - if you have written me during my absence, hang in; I likely won't be staying up too long or will be taking a LONG nap. Then tomorrow I have to start packing up the rest of my Mom's house for sale. Until the 18th of June, I might be on hit and miss and I thank you for your patience! Oh - the wedding - a garden wedding - was wondrous, and we all made it to a basement moments later where we huddled together listening to the radio as the storms roared over. What a weekend! Tomorrow - hopefully back to genealogy! Sandi Sandi's Puzzlers: http://www.gensoup.org/gorinpuzzles/index.php Sandi's site: http://ggpublishing.tripod.com/
