This was taken Wednesday, January 7, 2009. My plan had been to surprise Linda at the shower for her future daughter-in-law on Monday. I had it all worked out that Jean would get me at the airport, and we would go to Barbara's in American Fork. I planned to surprise Barbara, too. The weather foiled the plans! Due to snow in Spokane, the plane left Portland 45 minutes late. Then when we were getting ready to land in SLC, the pilot announced we would be circling so they could clear the runway. After 35 or so minutes of circling, we landed, and then it took forever to get the luggage. 6 flights' worth of luggage went to the same carousel!! George waited for me and took me to Layton. It took us 2 hours to get there, when it should have been about 30 minutes. Needless to say, the shower was canceled due to weather.
So I called Linda and she was very surprised I had tried to come and surprise her. Barbara was, too.
Linda's husband, Doug, was nice and said that he would drive her up to Layton yesterday. It was rather a spur-of-the moment thing, but we had a great time visiting, reminiscing about old times when we were little, etc.! I won't tell what they said about ME! Today Jean and I went shopping and to lunch. The wedding is Saturday. That is the day we will need to do our sisters' reunion. It was to have been this week, but with the weather, it was too hard for us to go down and get together. Saturday we will get pictures of the 4 of us at Ryan's wedding.
It was really sunny today and the roads melted, but there is still a lot of snow on the housetops, yards, etc.
