So close and yet so far!

A rather interesting trip home from Seattle today...we flew over Colorado Springs but were put into a holding pattern in Denver. It seems the area was getting some vicious storms, and DIA closed for a time. After circling, we were diverted to the Springs to take on some more fuel. So close and yet so far! We were 4th in line get fuel and it was going to be a 15+ minute wait, so we were allowed to get up, make calls, etc. Fifteen minutes stretched into about 30, and then finally they announced that anyone whose final destination was COS could deplane. That was GOOD news! The bad news is that we're still, several hours later, waiting for our luggage to arrive from Denver. It's supposedly going to arrive yet tonight, but I'm not holding my breath. We'll see it when we see it....IF we see it!
It was great to be home and get caught up with the girls. They have lots of stories to tell of their time without us. I think they really enjoyed having the house & cars to themselves. But I also think they missed us a little bit. And Annie, our beagle, is following me around like...a puppy dog!
