Tom got in last night- FINALLY!!! I worked downtown at The Charleston Artist Guild Gallery (very slow day!) and then went to supper club for the first time stag, and wanted to go to pick up Tom from his flight about 10:30. He had to fly to Atlanta (as everyone knows -there are no direct flights to & from Charleston!) and called me upon landing. He said the plane hit wind shears coming in and tilted to one side upon landing! That would be enough for me to say I think I would drive from there! He got a bite to eat and boarded the plane. He called to let me know they were boarded and getting ready to take off. About 15 minutes later he called again (I'm thinking I should not be getting a call from Tom at this point!) and said they had not taken off yet because the pilot had not arrived but that he was in the terminal somewhere. Well, I am thinking I hope that location is not the lounge! About another 20 minutes and Tom calls again and says still no pilot! Whatever pilot they were looking for sure seemed lost! Nonetheless, when he called me and it was approaching an hour I told him I believe there is a new law that the airlines can no longer leave you on longer than an hour on the ground. (Does anyone know if this true?) Well, shortly after he calls and says they let them "unboard". And Tom did not want his flight to be cancelled due to the weather problems possible today! Anyway, eventually they got a pilot and Tom took a cab home (since it was so late!) and got here about 12:30am. He says it feels really good to be back!
And then they are predicting 1-3 inches of snow here this evening. We both so hope it happens. We are both like kids about the snow! And our nephews are in town who are the joys of our life. I am so glad Tom gets a chance to see them while he is here.
I hope I will be posting snow photos tomorrow....
