We made it to Peoria!

Last week Johnny & I took a trip to his hometown of Peoria, Illinois. I hate, hate, hate to fly so of course our travel day was blessed with being kooky, crazy, nuts and horrible. We woke up at 0330 to leave the house at 0430, rush to the airport with Minnie Mouse in her little travel bag just to find out that our 0600 flight was canceled...of course.

Stood in line for 2.5 hours to reschedule, slept on chairs, got stranded for 5 hrs in Detroit...let's just say that we ended up having a 16 hour travel day...I won't even get into it. It's stupid. Simply stupid and we are NEVER flying with Delta again. Did you hear that Delta? Yeah, you heard me. Scared? You should be! You're going to miss my one flight a year. Trust me!

There I feel better now.

 We were so HAPPY to finally get to Peoria and be OUT of the airport.



[Johnny's motto: Have computer, will travel]

Minnie's bladder was happy, also. Poor little thing, she was a real trooper.

Ummm. Hello? If you're going to just sit there, Liz, make yourself useful and PET ME!

She's such a demanding little thing...all 4.5 pounds of her.


Liz is about to go to work and Minnie won't give her a moment's peace.


Seems like Minnie's captured someone else's heart too...


And the more hearts, the merrier. I'm thinking that "someone else" needs a Chihuahua, too {wink}


We went to work with Liz and had breakfast while she started her shift.


Afterward, we drove over for a long visit with someone very, very special... 

She's simply precious! We love you so much Gram! 

I'll post more about Gram soon along with cooking with my mother in law, making glass pendants with my father in law & lunch/shopping with Liz and Jake. The days flew by, but we had such a nice time and even though we packed a lot of activities into a few short days, we managed to relax and make fun memories together.

And that's what's most important, isn't it?
