boarding

We are just boarding the plane and already have some funny stories. Mom's tea cup imploded, spilling hot tea over the stranger standing in front of us. Luckily he was forgiving and jovial (saying he.d had worse things spilled on him).

Unfortunately mom is suffering from the nasty stomach bug that has been hunding the fam. She has the little white bag ready and is siting in the aisle. With any luck she is past the worst of it and on road to recovery.

Mary is 2 rows behind us. We were unsuccessful in convincing the guy next to us to switch. Window seats in the exit row are premium real estate. Only 5 hours until we are in miami....
