It's our annual visit to our youngest daughter. We had been going in Nov-Dec, but it's uber-cold then. Last years visit was In April I think, but still too old for us.
We got a direct flight this time; the extra cost well worth not having the flight change complications in DFW. We left in early afternoon, and arrived only slightly late at 6p. The pilot said Tucson's heat would cause turbulence at take off, but it lasted most of the flight.
E managed to embarrass me at the airport, as I told another lady that Seattle would have a surprising 93° yesterday. She thought it would be only in the 80's (that's today's weather here). So E turns around and makes me sound like an idiot, as every weather app seems to be different in reports (to him). [Mr Know-it-all. Later I told him I was humiliated at that, but it started him fuming at me. My stomach and chest were tight after that for quite a while.]
I read from my Kindle app the entire flight. He made it sound like I was starting a fight at the airport, telling our DD. I cut him off and said I was embarrassed by him, that the lady and I simply commented, no big thing!!! So he fumed a little more, but was much nicer to me the rest of the evening. (Good heavens, this part should be in the steam room!)
Anyway, though we landed at 6, DD had her daughter and friend in tow. They still had to accompany GD's friend to her gate for an 8p flight, which was delayed. E & I waited at a deli with our luggage tucked between tables. DD finally returned about 9p, and led us out of the airport and took us home with her. We got to her home about 10:30p, so it was midnight by the time we all chatted, we unpacked, and hit the bed.
I was awake before anyone, 6:30a. Have no idea what today will be like, except probably restful.
After today, the weather looks like it'll settle in the 70's for the rest of our time here. Not bad. I keep thinking how close to Alaska this is, though.
Basically, an uneventful day here. Had lunch & dinner out, and did a bit of shopping.
GD connected her computer to the TV an showed us some movies she made. One was a French Class movie with 2 other friends in it. And several Japanese Anamae musical movies, in the Japanese language; she developed the characters the scenes, and the music. She's an amazing girl, with a great quick sense of humor.
