On the Road Again.....OOPS.....In the Air Again.....

      Hello!   Grandma G checking in from Minneapolis St. Paul airport--while enjoying the local chicken and wild rice soup.  I must be in the Midwest since the air is crisp and there is a hockey game on the TV.
      The flight was good.  I bought myself a Mother's Day gift by paying $39 for an "economy comfort" seat.  I was as close to first class as one can get without paying all that money--one seat behind.  This was a good gift.  I had a large window, large seat (the plane's, not mine), quiet  surroundings, and early off.  Great.  Especially after a restless 6 hour sleep experience. 
      There was a little mix up before getting into the airport.  Carole drove me there this AM at 5:30.  As we pulled into the airport for departures I took out my ID and credit card so I would be all set to check in.  Carole and I said goodbye and she drove off.  Unfortunately I couldn't find either card when I went to process my ticket.  OOPS.  A quick call to Carole confirmed that I indeed left them in her car.   The attendent checked me in while I waited for my documents.  Even with the delay there was plenty of time to get through security and into my cozy seat in the front of the plane.  Yeah!
