Well I was supposed to fly to Canada today to attend a wedding on Friday. But I live near Chicago right? Well we are in the middle of a snow storm--may be the heavest of the winter. I am never anxious about flying, but for some reason I was hoping this flight would be cancelled. My son in law makes all my travel plans because he is good at it and likes being nice to me [really]. The flight is in his name so I didn't have a password to get into American Airlines on line site. I finally connected with Chris in Canada and he was watching the flights and they have cancelled 1000, but for some reason the one I was supposed to take was OK. About 11AM he got through and told them I was unable to get to the airport be cause of the weather and I will be on the same flight tomorrow. I feel so much better about it. By then everything will be cleared out. We have had a mild winter the last two years and actually this moisture is welcome. All the snow plow operators are happy with some overtieme. The whole Chicagoland area cancelled school today before the storm even started, but my lonely flight was still scheduled to leave. What I was most anxious about was that I would get my bag checked in, they would then cancel the flight and I would have to call my son to come and pick me up. The traffic around the air port is just unbelievable and with 6 inches of snow would be awful. Wondered if I would ever see my bag again. I feel much better--took a nap and will get a few things done. Have no idea when we will have spring here--I got three catalogs today so somebody thinks our now 10 inches on the ground will melt. We almost never can plant anything until late April. I usually get a couple of pots of pansies or something hardy for the the front that is protected until the ground is warm. Hope I get off the ground tomorrow!
