Carried on like Cleopatra

Mom and Dad just left Stillwater like a bunch o'pimps in their own private jet, which was generously provided by the Williams Energy Corporation (yeah, I just plugged them.) And they deserve it, too.  The plane arrived in our rinky-dink little airport with three burly guys to help load her on.  Her wheelchair was too wide to lift up the stairs and through the doorway and she can no longer lift the left leg high enough to climb steps.  So, they got a metal chair from the waiting room of the airport and Jill and I strapped her in.  Up she went with two strapping men on each side and one at the back. Just like a queen.  Jill and I helped get her settled into the seat and away they went.  In an hour, they'll land in Denver and she'll float down those stairs again. :))

 P.S. Shout out to the Cheneys. Gonna miss my other family.  You demand your L and O, punkin' pie!

  1. Great to hear that your getting the royal treatment Mary and Jim. Williams Energy gets a thumbs up from us here in Michigan although the name is not familiar to us. Enjoy your visit everyone and savor every minute.

    Love Bruce and Deb

  2. Oh my God what a wonderful solution to your getting together problems. Now if the mobile animal farm does well you are all good to go. I will try to call Sunday after the flood of tears has gotten under control. Bless ALL of you.
    Love to all

  3. What a great solution to a complex problem! Bless Williams Energy. You deserve to travel like the rich and famous and I can't wait to see pictures of the procession of Cleopatra. Hearing you all together in the suv was music to my ears. Mary you sounded great and hearing Craig's voice in the background was wonderful. Now y'all have lots of laughs and love every minute together. Love each and every one of you. Joan
