Oy, what an airport run it was! The weather was snowy, single digit temperatures, worry about flight delays or even cancellations. The Passenger had to be picked up in Estes Park first as if things weren't bad enough. So a phone call to the cabin where the guest, we'll call her "Princess", was staying to inform an earlier pick-up time due to the weather, was the first order of business. Things were off to a bad start on the Longmont end, arguments with the Bob about should the Princesses Host, my son John, ride along requiring another trip back to Estes Park, and in his opinion risking harm to more individuals than necessary in inclement weather. Pish Posh I said, he is a hardy mountain boy I would want along if I was in trouble! Oh what a morning! But this was the least of it. Arriving at the cabin - no one was there? No one was packed for a trip home either. A phone call found Princess to be downtown buying Christmas ornaments. What the ? There's a blizzard raging and we need to leave, we even called ahead to say we were leaving an hour earlier. That hour would even give you time to clean up this mess you made of the place one would think. Moving along.... Returning to cabin, packed, we're on the road and even in Boulder County when Princess in the sweetest way possible asks "can we go to Downtown Denver to Chubbies and get Mexican food to take to my Mom?". Smiling and withholding laughter as best as I can, I say,"You want to take Mexican food to your Mom?". "Yes, I always do." On the airplane?" I respond. "Yes, it's our favorite, you can't get good Mexican food in Houston , well there's this one place, like, it's ya know, Tex-Mex, not really authentic....blah blah blah.."
Well, suffice it to say, my now very accommodating and sweet husband, took the Princess to "Chubbies" - getting off the toll road, through bad weather and closed roads we arrived at DIA with, the Princess , $64 in Mexican food, and our good manners in tact for a 4:55 flight at 4:25. She even got to kiss my son goodbye. I averted my eyes. Sometimes I've just had enough of a good time.
