I had a wonderful couple of hours with them, and a great piece of pizza.
Bud's plane was to come in at 10:50 p.m. so around 10:15 I headed to the airport.
When I got there, I went in to use the rest room, and noticed.....The flight from Atlanta was late...it said arrival at 11:52 DELAYED.
So I went back to the truck, dug the blanket out of the back area. And Settled down to wait. I had some plastic canvas to work on, so since I was sitting under the street light I was able to do so and not have the truck light on.
So, I sent him a text message. "Straight out main door on left in two hour space".
I knew he would know what I meant.
Almost midnight....and I see a plane coming in for a landing.
I dug my camera out and snapped this photo..
The plane lights are the one on the left that looks like two eyes and a nose.
The next one, OH- NO -- It looked like it was headed my direction and the way it was coming down, I whispered....But I didn't sit here so you guys could take me out.
It was coming straight down at me............And I knew they had to descend into the wind and the truck was shaking already, as it was very, very windy.
This one was snapped just before it turned to go down the run way. WHEEEE...I'm glad they turned.
Shortly after this plane landed another one came in.
I sat and waited..(YES, I stayed in the truck.) after all I had text him where I was and it was getting COLD out there.
He send me a reply "K" so I knew he had gotten my text.
When he came out the door and almost to the truck I got out and opened the back to put his bags in.
As he got in the truck this is what he said.
"I get off the plane, and other passengers are getting hugs and kisses from people who were meeting them....I looked around....but nobody was there to meet me.....
I Simply got a text message telling me where to go."
Yep, you got it, I'm tierd, I've been waiting a while, So I simply stayed in the truck. Later I told him he was lucky that I was there. A friend of mine who went to Canada to see her grandaughter had to wait 2 hours for her son to get off work, because her husband was too busy in the field to take time to come get her. So I told him at least I was there waiting for him.
We got home shortly after 1 A.M on Saturday morning.
Man I don't function well on those late nights.
Saturday then, he took a load of people to Champaign to a game. So I was left on my own. When I took the garbage out this is what I saw.

Just my car, the rest of the people in my building were all gone.
So I spent some time totally alone.......
With nobody else home I was able to do all our laundry, clean the place up a bit and sit and do a bit of quilting on my upcoming grandchild's quilt.
Today he is on his way to Akron, Ohio and will be back tomorrow afternoon.
So I believe I will go and watch a movie.
Haven't seen "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" for while.
A nice peaceful afternoon ALONE!.......
Hope everybody else is having a great week end too.
HAPPY SUNDAY AFTERNOON TO ALL OF YOU!

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to laugh or not, but somehow when I read your blogs, I feel like I'm supposed to. :) Poor Bud. ha! (BTW, I would have done the same thing you did! Who wants to sit in an airport for that long?)
How funny that it felt like the plane was coming at you. hee hee Got your adrenaline goin' huh? ;)
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is hilarious. Have fun!!!
I am with Lynnette,...I think you are quite the character and I snicker when I read your posts sometimes too.
Hope you enjoyed your quiet time and your movie. I love those peaceful times.
