Coming home I drove as far as Angels D&JD's (aka Auntie-In-Law and Husband's brother Trail Hiker) house, getting there just as I needed headlights to drive. And a good thing too since, unfamiliar with the borrowed car, I couldn't remember how to turn the silly things on. Angels watching over me...
After a subdued visit and a quiet night in the Orange Room, D packed me some sandwiches and snacks, and JD drove me back to the airport.

A delayed Angel filled Gate C24 with the heavenly strains of Spanish Guitar.
My return flights were uneventful. And Mom's thoughtfulness covered gas and long-term parking.

Though reports of devastation from post-storm flooding filled the airwaves, I found the roads clear all the way to my own Backroad of Busted Mufflers. That name is now an understatement. Less than a mile from home, a 30'wide x 15'deep hole gaped across my way... ...but Angels had gone ahead. Just before the looming pit was a detour - cut through a farmer's unused field to reroute traffic while a nearby bridge was rebuilt - two summers previous!

And then I was home, safe and sound, with my very own Angels....
...er, I mean Critters and Hubby.
Thanks be to God.
(Angels continued to bless us as Hubby and Firstborn drove to the Midwest and back a few days later following the passing of Hubby's special bro, Bones. To our family there from those of us who had to remain behind {and to all of our family members on both sides in this sad time} our thoughts and prayers are always with you.)
