Hello Wonderful

Now, this is more our style...the Hilton @ Little Rock.

So, the ladies at Alamo Rent-A-Car were symphatic to our travel woes. So, we got a FREE upgrade. Are we touring around in the 'compact' cool-looking Nissan....NO!!! We've been 'upgraded' to a gold Ford Taurus (with a non-working remote). Boy, do we look cool.

Hasta La Vista, La Quinta!

Well, we've honestly seen better. Since this was a school venture, we're not all about wasting district dollars, but we also like beds with no springs popping out, dry towels and non-stained carpets. So, we're contributing some of our own hard earned funds to move up the road...to the Hilton.

So, What do you do when nothing is open?

We both agree...this may go down as our worst travel day. I snapped this photo around 5:25am (eastern). We literally left at this exact same time yesterday to try to get to Little Rock. Since we got in so late (or early), the rental car facility is closed until 6am central time. Our class begins at 8:30 sharp, so we no choice, but to stay here until we can get a car. Good times.

Flight Delayed...

As you can see, Jennie is very thrilled to still be in chicago at 2am. We've almost been up 24 hours.

Which One Will Win?

Our return home gave the cats reason to celebrate. They got to get out of their kitty den and fight for a spell.

Little Rock Bound...but not anytime soon.

Jennie and I were slated to leave Flint this morning at 7:02am. It's about 7:02 right now and our flight has been cancelled due to technical problems with the plane. We are re-booked for an 8:05pm flight. I guess we go home and sleep...

Trimmin' the trees

This poorly composed shot out of our kitchen door window shows Hulett's Tree service working on one of our trees. Today we are having two large limbs removed from the two trees between the house and garage. We are also getting two large stumps (one is 3 feet in diameter, the other 2 feet) ground as well as about 7 'stumps' from shrubs in the front of the house. The guys have been here since about 8:45 this morning. I will try to get more photos up later.
