Tues. APril 2

First if all a Very Happy 21st Birthday to our grandson Jake at Notre Dame University in Indiana. Have a great day , but don't celebrate too much!! Matthew's confirmation was very nice. His older brother Christopher was his sponsor. Both looked very handsome. I will add a picture later, I have to get it from Nancy since no camers were allowed in church. There was a reception afterward in the school gym. I also got to meet my newest great niece, Gabriella  Grace. When I got back home, I decided to take a shower since I would be leaving for the airport in the morning. When we leave for vacation, Richard turns off the water and drains the hot water heater since we are gone for 2months. He told me I could turn the water on, but I wouldn't have hot water. Nancy said I should go to her house and shower, but I thought I would just take a "cool" shower at home.... WRONG! The water was so cold there was no way I could take a shower. So I thought why not be like the pilgrims and heat the water on the stove. Well I had all four burners going plus our two coffee pots and an electric tea pot. I carried the pots one by one into the bathtub.. It took a while, but I finally had enough to get in and bathe. You don't appreciate running hot water until you don't have it!! I feel for the pilgrims!! Nancy and Matthew met me at the car rental to take me to the airport. It had stormed all night and was still raining in the morning. When I got to the airport, I found that my flight was delayed an hour. When the plane was finally ready to board, they announced that they needed three people to take a later flight. They were offering to pay for the flight plus give a $300.00 voucher to anyone who would volunteer to take a later flight.when I was finally able to board, I asked why they over-book. She said they don't , but there was a situation on the plane. Someone on the flight the plane came in from vomited. And they had to remove three seats and didn't have extra seat belts for the replaced seats and the flight was filled. So until three people volunteered to take a later flight, the plane couldn't take off.i guess 3people must have agreed to the later flight because the plane finally was able to leave. It was very overcast out for about thr first half of the flight, so I wasn't able to get any pictures until it finally cleared up. The plane was filled of course .. A lot of families going to Disney Land. Richard, Jack &Jan picked me up at the airport. It was good to be home and see Nancy and the kids,but I was anxious to get on with the next month of our vacation.
