Monday, March 2, was a perfect snowy day --- if I could have stayed home and watched from my window. However, it was the day Arlene flew in from Chicago for the Philadelphia Flower Show.
I didn't leave my house for the airport until the airline website showed her plane was halfway to Philly. I soldiered through the snowy roads to the expressway and then the road cleared up and traffic was minimal. When I got to the airport I waited, and waited. Finally, Arlene called me on my cell to say she had landed - at Dulles!!!!!!!!! The plane had circled so long in Philly it ran low on fuel.
Her plane was refueled and she finally arrived, 4 hours after I got to the airport. By the time she arrived I was happily ensconced with a new group of friends. The new friends included a young couple who actually know a person I know from Olympia Washington. The other new friend was a knitter!!!!!!!!!! She showed me a wonderful beaded abacus that she had made to count her rows.............I've got to make one before I forget how it's made.
Tuesday, March 3, was probably the coldest day in Philly history. The thermometer on my car said something like 18, but it felt like 6 when Arlene and I made it from the parking lot to the convention center for the Philadelphia Flower Show.
And what a show it was!!!!!!!!!!! It was picture perfect.
