Flying bufoonery

Buffoonery. That is what our pilot called it today. Here is our flying adventure thus far. They cancelled our flight this morning so we left at 11 instead of 7. That was OK and the weather was great. Our connection in Atlanta was under an hour. That is too close for comfort on international flights. We arrived in Atlanta 10 minutes early...cool. Then we sat on the runway for 45 minutes. Actually we drove around the airport in a 757. The pilot finally called it buffoonery as they kept telling him we had a gate. When we arrived another plane was always there. We had some celebs on our plane...kind of. The old rock stars Molly Hatchet and Blackfoot were sitting around us. I listened to one of them tell their whole life story, kind of interesting.
Any way we dashed to our gate and then found out there was not a plane. They sent all of us across the airport to another gate and so here we are waiting. At least we will make it onto the plane. Adios amigos...til tomorrow.

Argentina here we come???


We are packed and ready to go. Delta e-mailed us to let us know our flight from Idaho Falls has been cancelled and changed which is fine (we can sleep in a little). However our connection in Atlanta will be very tight. So it may be an adventure getting to Argentina. Less than an hour to make an international flight can be problematic.
The picture was taken on the street in Buenos Aires in March when we were there last. I love these trees which look like camouflage. Click on it for a closer look at the trunk. Have a great Labor Day weekend everyone. We will keep you posted on our progress. It is one big adventure...right??

Looking towards the sun


Ok so today I have to do two posts. While I was out taking pictures this morning the sun was coming up. I stopped to take a picture of the sunflowers along the road against the sun coming up. I was kind of frustrated that they faced a way and I could not get their faces as they were facing.....the SUN. How silly of me to think they wouldbe facing my camera when the sun was just coming up. Anyway it was kind of a little life lesson. We should also always have our face or lives looking toward the sun. Go ahead and contemplate this. So then I had to throw in the picture of the little hummingbird I saw in one of my trees. Amazing that my eyes picked him out amidst the leaves. And look...he is also looking toward the sunrise. You might have to click on the picture to see him better.
It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day!

Another morning walk


This morning was another beautiful walk. The weather was perfect. It is very smoky because of the big fire near Sun Valley. So the sky is red at sunrise and sunset. I ran home from the walk to grab my camera. It is a full moon so I got some cool shots.
We are packing to head to Argentina Saturday morning. It is spring down there.
All the Grandkids are back to school. We wish them all well. It is kind of quiet around here without someone around looking for a Popsicle or running around playing with cousins.
