Back to the Airport

I guess all things have to come to an end. It was time to go back to the airport and fly home. Lucy shows me some of her special friends before we leave.
Margie was kind enough to drive me three hours back to the San Antonio airport on January 19, 2012. They would not honor my ticket in Del Rio. I hated to see her have to drive three hours back alone with her children.
This has been a wonderful three days spent in Texas with my cute grandchildren.
I had so much playing with Lucy and Jay.
We stopped at a rest stop on the way to the airport. I found where we were on this big map of Texas.
Lucy is standing by this outline of a big star.
I enjoyed seeing the Mexican flag displayed at the rest stop.
The Texas flag and United States Flag were also displayed.
Everything in Texas is big.
Texas did have a beautiful and clean rest stop. I was impressed. Now I have visited all of my children in their homes since Jay passed away. My children and grandchildren and now great grandchildren are what bring me joy.
