I haven't forgotten about you all in public blog land, things have been just kinda crazy!!!
So I'm going to tell you about my crazy dream and then about my trip to see my parents this weekend because both are interesting and not cycle related.
First dream....
I'm at the beach and a family from Ireland comes and sits down next to me. They have a HUGE white dog that looks like a polar bear. They tell the dog to go into the water which it proceeds to run and jump into the water. Next thing I know....there is a hippopatomus in the water and the dog attacks and kills it. Then it starts going crazy and attacking all the dogs in the water too. I'm yelling at the family to get the dog out of the water.....for pete's sake it killed a hippo!!! I woke up yelling from that dream.
Next the trip to visit my parents this weekend:
Jim picks me up at work at 4pm and we head out to park the car at his Grandma's house. She drives us to the airport, and while we were running a bit behind, we made it just in time. Also, the line for security was pretty short so we were able to grab a quick bite to eat and bring it to our gate.
Our flight was scheduled to board at 6:35pm and we sat down at the terminal around 6:15ish. Twenty minutes to go before our flight hurray!!!!....until KABOOOOMM and the sky opened up into a monsoon thunderstorm before our eyes. Of course, all flights were grounded and no flights could come in which included the flight we were waiting on to board. Our flight was circling the airport waiting and hoping for clearance to land but never got it, and started to run out of gas and had to divert to Indianapolis.
Fast forward....the time is now 7:15pm when our flight should have left 10 minutes ago but our plane is in another state and won't even be leaving Indy until 8:15 scheduled to arrive at 8:45 provided the weather held up. This would put our arrival time into Atlanta (where were had a layover and a flight to catch to Nashville) at shortly after midnight their time. Too bad our plane was supposed to leave ATL at 11:10pm , it was the last flight to Nashville, the airport wouldn't put us up in a hotel so we'd have to sleep in the airport until the next flight at 10am.
So.....we drove!!! We went back to Grandma Shirley's got the car and headed out. We thankfully were able to stay with my friend who lives in Louisville which was about the half way point to where my parents are in TN.
We didn't get in until after 2am due to awful traffic in Chicago and a crazy storm in KY, probably the one that grounded our flight, LOL so we got a tour of my friend's new house (its really nice!!!) and went to bed. I felt bad we dashed out in the morning so fast but we had to get to my parents house at some point this weekend!!!
Finally Saturday around 2pm we arrived at my parents house in Fairfield Glade, hurray!!! I really like their house and the community is pretty slick. They took us to a beer tasting even a few hours after we got there and then we went for dinner at the golf course clubhouse restaurant. Sunday we had breakfast on their back porch and watched the deer running around in their wooded backyard lot. It was really serene and peaceful which is right up their alley so I'm sure they're going to love living there! Sunday night my parents had their friends who moved to town and their daughter come over for dinner. It was fun to chit chat but by 7 or 8pm Jim and I both were passed out on the couches!!
This morning we woke up early and took my parents out for a nice breakfast.....Waffle House, LOL then headed back home. We got on the road at 10am and didn't get home unti almost 8pm because the traffic in Indiana was ridiculous!!
Now I'm just doing some laundry getting ready to go back to work tomorrow. Ugh....don't wanna!!!
Hope you all had great Labor Day weekends!!
