Late to the Airport

Our friends texted us yesterday the second they landed at the airport, but had to taxi for a bit. It only takes about 12 - 15 minutes to get to our airport. By the time they walk to the exit, we are there. Not so yesterday. Just as we opened the door to leave, I received a package. Figured we had a few extra minutes, so I just had to open the box. It contained 8 placemats I’ve been dying to receive. Silver with rhinestones and sparkles to sparkle up the dining room table. So me! However, that made us arrive late. Our friends texted saying they were out front and waiting. I told them it was my fault and why. We did go out to dinner, and I promised they would be the first to use the placemats when I next cook! No cooking tonight! It’s Friday date night! Sparkles to all my friends!

Thanks! I will put them out when you come and visit me here! They are such wonderful people - friend with cancer. Sitting out on the lanai with hubs and just saw her husband. He’s going to pick her up from playing cards.

They do look pretty darn nice. I put them away and will only use them when we have guests. That’s a tricky airport. The police won’t let you park and wait and move you on unless the peeps you are picking up are there waiting at the curb. If not, we have to leave the airport, get on the highway and circle around for 2 miles. It’s a royal pain.

@kaylachan Right! And if we get there too early, the police make us leave. It’s a good two plus miles to get back!

Thank you! I’m sipping my allotted one martini now while hubs is attending a bored meeting. I can’t take the aggravation. Our friends were fine. They only waited a few minutes. We were stuck in a line of cars until we were able to get to them.

No placemats here. I could see my two cats knocking them off the table just because they could. I used to make placemats with my kids we even put liners over them so they could be used over and over again.

@DianneN They just get on the chairs and pull down whatever is close to the edge and than they take off running.

No cats here. Doodles never went on our dining room table in CT. The island - yes, but we watched to make sure he didn’t try to jump down due to his bad knee. Miss him so much to this day.
