THIS MADE ME SMILE


I can relate and often tell myself this exact same thing. How about you? 

We had a lovely day and a busy one as we were out for several hours. There were errands to run in the morning, and for lunch we shared a pasty from our favorite pasty shop in Vienna, and we picked up a few goodies to take home. 

The afternoon was the best part as we picked up our son and daughter-in-law from the airport. They have been in San Diego, part business/part pleasure. They were also celebrating an anniversary. They wanted to do something special, so they drove across country, spending a week at their destination and then flew home. I have a lot of photos from their trip. They have said I can share on here, so I will be doing that off and on for a while.

We were early so my dear other half suggested we drive to the spot where we can watch the planes fly low coming in to land. He has an app on his phone that shows where they are coming from. Today, one was arriving from Jeddah in Saudi Arabia, and the other was flying in from Frankfurt, Germany. 
It was a gorgeous day for landing as you can see. 
Those skies made me feeling good looking at them...
but the best part of the day was greeting our son and daughter-in-law at the airport. 
The jeep and its stickers entertained me as they were on their way from the baggage claim.
I see Dolly there. I love this lady, she has the biggest heart, loves everyone and does so much good for people!
It didn't take them long and it was a fun drive to their place. We will be meeting up again soon and will find out more about their trip.


Enjoy your day everyone and 

thanks for stopping by.

    Meeting family at the airport is such an exciting thing to do, so much to see, so many crowds.

    Denise, you know about my fondness for stickers and vanity license plates so these stickers would have been my photo subject as well. Glad your family members had safe travels.

    I am curious. How did they drive out and fly back? What did they do with their car?

    That last cloud pic is one of those breathtakingly beautiful sky moments captured!
    Sounds like they had a nice trip. Always good when they are home safe and sound.
    My body doesn't whisper complaints to me the next day. It is quite loud and insistent--lol!
    The stickers were fun! Also do love Dolly! :)
