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.
Enjoy your day everyone and
thanks for stopping by.
(I found the Happy Thursday graphic in Pinterest. The signature airplane was from pixabay.com and I always add my name using Paint Shop Pro.)
Hi Denise, nice that you got to see your son and daughter in law. The illustration at the beginning of your post made me laugh as well and I can also relate. I love ❤️ the stickers on the jeep. Your plane and sky captures are gorgeous. Thank you 😊 🙏 so much for sharing, dear friend.
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda, you are very welcome. Always happy to share what I find. I guess many of us can relate to the first picture :) and I am glad you enjoyed the rest of them.
DeleteGreat minds think alike, and we both posted dolly this week! Your second cloud photo is amazingly beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI saw your Dolly post too Ginny :) loved it! Thank you so much! Those clouds were putting on quite a show that day.

DeleteYes, I can relate to that first one very well.
ReplyDeleteLove those stickers. What fun
Smiling here, I know I can too :) the stickers were fun and it was a great day. Thanks Ann :)
DeleteMeeting family at the airport is such an exciting thing to do, so much to see, so many crowds.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is and agree with everything you say :)
DeleteDenise, 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.
ReplyDeleteI certainly do and have enjoyed them very much :) Thank you, I have been enjoying all their stories.
DeleteThose are some wonderful skies :-D
ReplyDeleteI walked 10 miles yesterday and knackered haha! But feel better for it!
Thanks Ananka! Wow! Yes, I can understand why you were so knackered :))) but good for you! Good to know you feel better for it.
DeleteI am curious. How did they drive out and fly back? What did they do with their car?
ReplyDeleteThey rented a car to drive out there David. If they could have had more time, they would have driven back and used their own :)
DeleteWhat a nice reunion! And that opening quote is great.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jeanie :)
DeleteThe opening picture and quote made me laugh too. Enjoy the time with you son and daughter in law. I bet they have a lot to share with you about their vacation.
ReplyDeleteThat’s great Linda :) Thank you, they certainly did.
DeleteGreat Dolly shout-out. And yes to don't do that again! This very day I'm dealing with incautious carrying and dragging stuff.
ReplyDeleteThanks Boud, she’s great isn’t she? I hope you didn’t do too much today but we invariably do.
DeleteEvery bit of this made me smile. I think I would like the people with the Jeep. Those a really good photos of the planes landing.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Thanks for letting me know Sandra, and I would like them too :) I enjoy seeing those planes flying low over our heads.
DeleteExcellent way to celebrate an anniversary with that beautiful drive across our wonderful USA. Yes I agree with your lady at the beginning. I go to bed fine
ReplyDeletewake up feeling like I was in a fight. BOL LOL MOL
Looking forward to the photos
Hugs cecilia
Thanks Cecilia, it was good for them too and they got to meet a lot of wonderful people along the way, plus meeting up with friends in San Diego. And I know of what you speak regarding that first picture, LOL :) sending hugs!
DeleteHaha, yes this old body of mine is getting really bossy! It is fun to pick up loved ones at the airport. Have a wonderful Thursday. I'm trying to catch up in bloggy world.
ReplyDeleteBossy bodies eh? I know all about that, lol! Thank you! Late as usual catching up answering comments. I know all about catching up in bloggy world. It's Saturday here now so I hope yours is a good one too :)
DeleteA lovely drive
ReplyDeleteThank you Christine :)
DeleteFun times, I love stickers. I don't have any on my car but on my water bottles and laptop, yep.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to use water bottles and laptops for stickers. I don't have any on our car either :)
DeleteSupongo que esas nubes fabulosas de tus fotos, la has captado desde la ventanilla del avión.
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
Ojalá lo hubiera hecho, pero estábamos en tierra en el aeropuerto. Hice zoom para la foto de la nube con mi iPhone. Muchas gracias y les deseo un feliz fin de semana :)
DeleteGroovy Grannie made me smile :)
ReplyDeleteThose skies look lovely.
All the best Jan
Me too and glad it had the same effect on you Jan. Thank you and all the best :)
DeleteThat last cloud pic is one of those breathtakingly beautiful sky moments captured!
ReplyDeleteSounds 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! :)
Thanks Rita, I felt the same way as they are ever changing as we all know. I was lucky enough to catch the one cloud at just the right time with the sun reflecting off it. Yes, it is always good. Bodies have a way of telling us don't they? :) Glad you enjoyed Dolly and the stickers. They were icing on the cake for the day.
DeleteI love that you made time to watch the planes come in; there's something so peaceful and full of anticipation about that moment just before arrival
ReplyDeleteThe planes are always fun to see approach and then land. Beautifully worded and very true. Thank you :)
DeleteI had the same question as David G. Was that Dulles airport?
ReplyDeleteMy son in law and granddaughter had quite an airport experience. They were to fly out of Huntsville AL change in DC then fly to Hartford on Sunday. Because of thunderstorms in DC their flight was canceled. They were rescheduled for the next evening. That flight was late leaving Huntsville which made their connection to Hartford at Reagan Airport dicey. They ran and could hear the announcement of the last boarding call. They were too late but staff at counter said if they got the pilot attention by banging on the window in the waiting area he may let them board. Pilot saw Matt and asked that ramp come back to let them board. They got home from Hartford at 2:30 am Tuesday.
Thanks Marcia, I answered David's comment in more detail, but they rented a car for the drive out and bought a single ticket to fly home. Sorry to read about your son-in-law and granddaughter's airport experience. Nice of that pilot to delay and have the ramp brought back. They must have been very, very glad to get home!!!
DeleteMe gustaron las nubes. Te deseo un buen fin de semana. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteMuchas gracias :) Me alegra que te hayan gustado las nubes. Te deseo un feliz fin de semana. Te mando un beso.
DeleteLove the cloud shots!
ReplyDeleteThere's a saying that goes for any age and goes something like this, Don't do more today that you're body can't recover from, by tomorrow.
Lovely to see you Ivy :) and thank you. That's also a great saying!
DeleteThat would be a fun app.
ReplyDeleteMy husband enjoys his very much :)
