Lise did not fly to Newark, because that flight was also canceled because of weather! She checked with neighbor Holly before she called me. She cheerily asked, “How would you like to come to the airport with Holly and pick me up again? Can you be ready in five minutes?”
I dropped everything and walked up the street. Holly is a joy to talk to, and within an hour Lise was telling us of the second saga. This time she was walking to the stairs to the plane when the pilot came out and told the passengers they weren’t going anywhere. She rebooked for the next day before making arrangements with Holly.
What a blessing Holly is! She was free to drive to the airport Friday night, Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon. When Lise and I got home, I found meat in the freezer that would cook quickly and prepared fresh asparagus neighbor Joyce had given me. I hadn’t made Hollandaise sauce in years, but it was successful.
Sunday morning we had biscuits for breakfast, one of the meals we hadn’t gotten to in the last three weeks. I was able to attend church online before Holly picked us up. We had a light lunch at Culver’s, followed by small frozen custard treats. By the time Holly and I got home, Lise was boarding the airplane. We texted again when she was in the Atlanta airport. As she taxied to the runway, we said our goodbyes. By the time she gets home, she will have been traveling for 24 hours.

What a rigamarole and how frustrating. I hope Lise made it home safely and next time she returns (maybe Thanksgiving) it is smoother traveling for her.

Oh no, such a burden when they cancel your flights and especially when you are boarding already . Glad she made it home in the end and now you and Holly can take a break from the airport drive for a while😉

At least the delays allowed her to spend more time with you. (She didn’t get delayed in Atlanta.) Holly is a blessing.
