      I'm on my way to Borger, TX to help my Mother celebrate her 80th birthday tomorrow. That's a good thing.

However my connecting flight to Amarillo was cancelled. So, I am at DFW with a few hours to spare. If anyone

wants to say "Howdy", drop on by. 228-229-9865.

     Overall, its been a good day. I'm hunkered down in a guest service area with other computerholics.  Rather

than writing more blogs, I am reading and commenting. Believe me, I have the time.  I have lists of things I

can do with 1 on 1 time with my tablet.

     Now I think I may arrive around 4AM. That's Ok. I'll count my blessings.

I hope you're in the International terminal at DFW rather than A or C.  It's newer and more comfortable.

Howdy Folks, thanks for sharing my special time with me. Its the B wing. They keep telling us to change gates. Good exercise! I'm still here. I guess if I were really supposed to have arrived in Amarillo at 3PM, I would have. We will not let it spoil our celebration,.

Life before cell phones and laptops. In the 80's PCs faxing was hi-tech business. I do prefer having my office with me. 9:45PM

Hey, REal Friends. The local paper did a huge write up for her and stated the time of the reception, so we should have an interesting turn out.

Guess what today's sermon was about?

Hi Suzi - By now you have arrived, i hope, and the celebration was grand!  Hope you don't have any glitches on your return flight!!!  Happy Birthday to your Mom!

The Turnout was perfect. On top of celebrating her birthday I received extra encouragement and clarity regarding "my Niche" . Life is Good!

Hey Suzi Girl! It's two days later so I knew I wouldn't catch you at the airport! Like you said, thank heavens. I am so glad to get to talk to you though and I'm so glad you had a good birthday celebration with your mom. Again, you are lucky to have her. I am so glad we got to visit. Have a safe trip home on Thursday! Later in the rain~Deb (smootches)

Suzi! I just looked at what time it is! I didn't notice what time it was when I picked up the phone to call you! I simply read your number and it came naturally...I hope it wasn't too late. You're a sweetheart. Later in the rain~Deb

Previously when they had asked for volunteers to take a different flight and no one volunteered they just canceled the flight. Finally, we were about to board to Amarillo. Again an attendent made an announcement asking for volunteers to take another flight complimentary + $250.00. I looked at the people standing near me and said, "Let me see...$250 or my mother's 80th birthday...hmmm. We bartered it up to $10,000 and everyone agreed that my mother's 80th was worth more.  I think one of them would have deplaned so I wouldn't miss my mother's birthday. Fortunately, at the end we all were able to board.

I passed on Birthday wishes expressed in this blog.

Deb, wasn't it amazing that you call and say its Deb and I know which Deb? That was an awesome surprise.

Well, you're do in tomorrow. I hope the flight is good and I know it has to be hard to say goodbye to your mom. I'm sure you've had a wonderful time and I'm glad we got to visit for a brief moment. We'll talk again, best wishes my friend, Later in the rain~Deb

So, everything is swell when we take off from Borger to AMARillo, then when I arrived in Amarillo it was the same stuff again, cancell, reroute, delay,delay. Not a big deal, I guess. I expected to be home at 3:15P and now will arrive close to 11P. Providence! There's something good in all of this.

Are you excited? If you found me, you are most likely thinking of moving to the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I remember the exictement, anticipation and even misgivings in relocating. Therefore, I try to convey "slice of life" moments with photos I upload. My area of focus is with East Harrison County, and Hancock County,MS:
