Glad and Sad To Be Home

Posted on by lizzymcfly
Our trip to Oshkosh, WI. ended yesterday.  I was so glad to be going home to see my kitties, but equally sad to be leaving.  We had such a great time.  We’re hoping to stay at the same cottage next year.   As we were leaving the cottage that morning, I phoned the owner to let him know we would be out well before the 11:00 check out time.  He told me he read my blog the night before and he checked out pictures of my hairless cats.  Well, he just went on and on about them.  How cute they are, how he wishes he had some of his own, they’re beautiful – he LOVED them.  I was starting to get nervous because we only had about 20 minutes left on the cell phone, and he just would not stop talking about the cats!  Eventually he was able to compose himself, as we said our farewells.  I sure hope to see him and his wife again next year!

 Before hitting the airport, we stopped at Denny’s for breakfast.  The restaurant next door had a Cessna 150 on the roof.  How cool:

Our two flights home were decent, kind of.  Our first was delayed about 30 minutes because they ended up putting us on a different plane, which had too much fuel for our load.  I offered to get off to compensate, but the Captain said that simply taking a celery stick off the plane wasn’t going to help much with the weight and balance.  Two people eventually agreed to leave, we shifted some folks around and off we went.  During our second flight which was from Detroit to Buffalo, someone poopied their pants not once but twice!  The smell was horrific.  Soon after the second discharge, I remembered I had some perfume in my purse.  Chuck and I put some under our noses, which helped a bit.  Other than that, the flight was fine.

I was so thrilled to see my girls when we walked in the door.  Their grandma took really good care of them – thanks again, Lil Jan!

Today’s symptoms:  I had a really bad headache today.  It was probably from all of the excitement over the last few days.  My joints and muscles were really aching too.  Oh well, tomorrow will be better!
