I didn't sleep very deeply, plus I had my feet propped on the bag with my iPad, and my purse was a cross body type, wedged between me and the couch. But yeah, I understand your worry.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890227462052573887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-78752498078953524392017-09-11T09:36:02.967-05:002017-09-11T09:36:02.967-05:00Thanks, I'm glad someone loves Mary as much as...Thanks, I'm glad someone loves Mary as much as I do. :)Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890227462052573887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-68860375938413937462017-09-11T09:35:33.866-05:002017-09-11T09:35:33.866-05:00I don't mind flying, but I do agree with you.....I don't mind flying, but I do agree with you...driving usually is easier.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890227462052573887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-59027511392525738032017-09-10T06:15:47.718-05:002017-09-10T06:15:47.718-05:00Wow, What a long day you had! i actually didn'...Wow, What a long day you had! i actually didn't know that there was 2 airports in Dallas. Or maybe I did, Is Love Field the main one airport or is that the second one? I guess that is kind of like in Orlando where they have Orlando International and than Sanford. I wonder why that club closes at 10:15? I would be too scared to sleep at an airport. I would keep thinking of someone stealing my luggage or something...lol. I would never have been able to recognize Temple *but than again I don't think I would really be able to recognize any famous people, I'm really bad at that). However, once you said Temple, I do remember seeing a commercial for her story on TV. I remember her for working with horses or something. So cool that you made a new friend. I hope the rest of your trip went well.Fairytales and Fitnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11771224209536216240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-23678558382120632192017-09-10T06:12:14.479-05:002017-09-10T06:12:14.479-05:00Love "inner Mary Richards" -I can so rel...Love "inner Mary Richards" -I can so relate. <br /><br />And Temple Grandin... what a delightful surprise!Chris B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00443971484776480520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-26875585195502725542017-09-09T12:35:35.218-05:002017-09-09T12:35:35.218-05:00Wow, that is some crazy journey.

And yes, getting to meet Temple Grandin wouldn't have happened otherwise, so that was a huge bonus!
