Good Visit

Hello, Yesterday, Leroy and I returned from our visit to Washington, DC. We were there while Sarah and Stephen went off to celebrate his 50th birthday. The grands are 15 and 11 years old so it was a fairly easy job. They even helped us with this and that, especially in terms of getting around the city. I find my stomach is still living in eastern time zone as I have been hungry an hour early. We also went to bed an hour early last night with an early wake up which was fine because Leroy goes to an early morning bible study. When we left a week ago, we arrived at the airport in plenty of time. The airport is small so we do not have to worry generally about getting through crowds, etc. I like small airports, but it does not have direct flights to many places. I spent some time walking around and some time sitting watching our bags while Leroy got some steps. Once, I stopped at a window that looks out over the runways to see a small plane (perhaps four seats) come in for a landing with one wing seriously tipping low. It leveled off and managed to land, but remained on the ground for a short time before taking off again. It was not long before it landed again, but with more finesse this time. It did that again. Could this be a learner? We could have ridden the bus, but we would have been two hours ahead of flight time or just one hour ahead. The first was too long and the second was too short so we got a ride with our downstairs friends. Also, the connection between our buses looked to be just three minutes and that caused anxiety just thinking about it. Now we had some walking time. Paula
