Lost Touch so checking in

[Guest guest]

Hi all! I have been moping around, trying to deal with all my aches

and pains as weather changes have caused me to hurt more. Have been

looking at posts but did not feel I had anything to contribute.

However, good things are happening as I'm getting married sometime

next year to a wonderful man that I've known for several years. He

said he wanted to go looking for a ring for me next week. Right now

I'm up visiting my daughter and family in Battle Ground, WA and he's

still in Texas, but he will be here next Tuesday evening. I'm excited

and so happy about all of this.

My trip here was the worst airline flight I've even been on. The

weather here in WA was bad with high winds. When we left TX we didn't

even know if we would be able to land in Portland, OR as planned.

However, we started decending into that airport with lots of

turbulance as we came in. We were over the Columbia River when a gust

of wind caused us to go too low over the water and the pilot had to

immediately take the plane back up into the air. He circled the

airport to try again and we all we scared. I was praying the whole

time he was bringing the plane and we landed safely. It was a very

scary situation and one I hope to never have again.

I'm tired today as it was very late and into the wee hours of the

morning before I got to sleep, but am going out shopping with my

daughter in a while. Hope everyone has a wonderful and joyous

Christmas.
