1. I am grateful for people who remain professional and courteous in airports when passengers are anxious and frustrated. When our plane wasn't able to fly due to mechanical problems there were people ready to help get us booked onto another plane, provide hotel accommodations so we wouldn't have to spend the night in an airport and see that our luggage arrived at it's final destination and all with a friendly smile. When you think that there were over a hundred people to be accommodated my hat is off to them all for their patience.
2.I am grateful for northwest sunshine and temperatures in the 30's and 40's. After spending a week in the mid-west where a day with a high of 20 degrees seemed positively balmy compared to the below 0 temps of the day before I will never complain about Northwest winters again.

3. I am grateful for being able to spend some really quality time with my brother and his family.
We ate lots of holiday goodies
Played games
Watched football games and just generally hung out together
As my niece said, it was a time of bliss.
I have always enjoyed spending time with my brother and his family but this trip will hold a special place in my heart. Remembering the goodness of God in allowing us this time together. Thanks be to God.
What wonderful photos, and everyone cooperated! You're blessed, that's for sure. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures - good times. The Investigator needed his hat and a scarf when outside! And I sure can see the Talbot genes in your brother. - Deb
