A very early morning..........we were awake at 2 AM, so decided to just get up. The Fort Myers airport (RSW) is undergoing a lot of construction (big expansion), so inside and outside, things are happening. We had to meander from the parking lot to get into the terminal in the wee hours.
Lots of activity at this early hour but our plane had lots of empty seats. We arrived at O'Hare 1/2 hour early but then had to wait for a gate as a plane was still in our spot with mechanical problems. Finally we got inside and wow....O'Hare was beautifully decorated for Christmas no matter where we walked.
Got our rental car and on our way to Rochelle where we met long-time good friends, Judy, Ruth and Butch. What a fun visit....Judy and Mark have known one another since 1st grade and went thru elementary and high school together. Ruth and I met at Midstate College in 1966 and I was in 4-H with Butch when we were 10 years old......so long-time friendships. Butch's mother just passed away a few weeks ago at 101.
Said our good byes and hope to get together next time we're back. Very enjoyable visit and ate at The Butterfly (good home cookin').
Been thinking of and praying for our great nephew, Roman (grandson of Tom and Beth) who has been at the hospital all day for tests after one side of his face was drooping. Very scary but latest is that he is home, has the flu and temporary palsy but 2 other types of sickness to address. Waiting for more details. We'll keep praying - Roman is 9 months.
We're with Anne and Connor for the next 2 nights - lots of good visiting over Monical's pizza and other treats.
And now we are off to dreamland - been a very long day. Nighty night!
