Ok, so May, Annie, Robin and self finally got out of Alaska on Friday 13th.
We arrived safely in Little Rock Ar, where my friend Sarah Weedman and her husband and son were waiting for us. That is, after flying for almost the whole previous day. The trip was uneventful except for the 2 hr. flight from Chicago to LR...where we almost got bumped off due to overbooking. We were given non existent seats and were sitting in somebody else's when the rightful owners come up and demanded them back. I was rather miffed to say the least, Rob and the girls were tired and we just wanted to reach our destination. Thankfully there were 2 seats left and the couple whose seats we were in, took those instead so we did not have to move...but it is rather upsetting when that happens. The poor sole flight attendant was bending over backwards to make things right when it wasn't her fault, and kept saying that the kids could not travel unattended...anyhoo...we got here in one piece which is what is important.
We have already trekked up a small hill and done some things around the suburbs. Sara's college age son and her husband are both good musicians playing violin and guitar. They put on an impromptu Celtic, bluegrass show for us which had the girls very impressed.
We met with an old piano teacher who graciously let Annie have some piano music for her entertainment while she is here. I think she is waiting for the son to leave because he was so good she might feel intimidated.
Rob is having a blast meeting new faces, especially a black face that belongs to another fellow student staying here at the house.
My sister is picking us up in a weeks time and planning all sorts of things to do.
I'm off to bed...
