Rob was in a tiss. He's tired and afraid we won't be able to get on the flight.
We checked in at the counter and checked our bags. We got our security documents with no problem. Oops, Rob didn't tell them about Bella.
He went through crew security and I went through the regular security with no problem at all. We met at Starbucks.
We were plenty early for our flight. We sat at the gate hoping we would be able to get on the flight. Rob was still a little bit poopy, because he was still worried we would not be able to get on the flight and they were not being encouraging at all.
But as it went, we did get on and he was able to sit in the seat right behind me. I sat next to a very nice lady who really liked Bella.
Rob, unfortunately, sat next to a grumpy sort. They had one negative encounter where the man was very rude to Rob, but luckily it was only the one time.
We got to Houston, grabbed our luggage and then loaded the bus to the Rental Car place. That also went very smoothly and soon we were on our way to Gene and Maddie's. I kept telling Bella she was going to a new friend named Charlie. He is their shitzu.
We stopped in at Costco. I wanted to get some flowers for Maddie and Rob wanted to get some wine to take her. We found a really pretty fall arrangement in a wooden, rectangular box. It was lovely.
We got to Maddie & Gene's. I called when we were about 5 min. out so she was at the gate waiting for us. She had Charlie on a leash. So I got out with Bella so they could meet. They weren't so excited about making friends.
Rob drove on through to their house where Gene was waiting for him. I walked back with Maddie and the two dogs.
It was sooooo nice seeing them again.
Their home is lovely and they are warm and welcoming. We sat around visiting and then we helped Maddie fix dinner.
She has horrible issues with her back and to stand for long periods of time is very painful.
I sliced tomatoes, onions, avocado, basil and fresh Mozzarella. Then I stacked them all together. Maddie made pasta with clam sauce and steamed clams on top. It was a delicious dinner.
We went up stairs to watch the Raider vs Houston Texan's game. The have a wonderful third floor with a giant TV and comfy couches and chairs. Rob and I had a really tough time staying awake and finally went to bed early in the 3rd quarter without event knowing who won the game.
