I was awake at 4am in anticipation of my alarm for 5 am to dress and finishing packing. WW and my 2 grand-dogs, Zoey and Duke took me to LV-JSX airport in the truck for my 7:25 flight to Orange County. 
A quick flight of less than an hour, half way there the pilot starts the descent. The flight attendant is busy serving beverages and a snack and then collecting same before we land. I love looking out the window during the flight and decided it was a great geography lesson.


Then I noticed the labelled writing on my window, and decided that the window was installed upside down? It worked so I guess it doesn't matter? Just Grandma being picky?



It was about then that I could pick out the 91 freeway, as we went over Anaheim Hills. Fun to look at all the Monopoly sized houses, then I saw the reservoir and soon after the 55 freeway towards Newport Beach. Because of the plane's speed, the cars on the freeway seemed slow and leisurely, even though I know that is not reality. Daughter #2, Cheryl was at the airport to meet me, and she drove me home. I picked today's music because I have been Lazy all day! 

So there. ;o)



 
SCIENCE FACT OF THE DAY

Foliated metamorphic rocks are strongly banded or foliated, the latter of which means that a parallel arrangement of certain mineral grains gives the rock a 'striped' look. Foliation occurs when pressure squeezes the flat or elongate minerals within a rock so they become aligned. Granite gneiss and biotite schist are examples of foliated metamorphic rocks.

Lunch with WW & GH#1 & Yoga with GH#1!

Around 11:30 GH#1, WW and I went to Rachel's Kitchen, Henderson for a healthy lunch. We all had different salads & leftovers.

They had a talking robot that delivered your food to you table. He said, "Take your food."
























WonderWoman had planned to take me to a restorative Yoga class at 4pm, but her church called a meeting, so GH#1said he would take me. My first yoga class at 84.

It was a Restore class, and I couldn't do hardly anything, but I felt so blessed to be next to my giant grandson as he sailed through the varied requests. An hour with him, priceless! More memories forever.

Now for some leftover tacos, and some packing. I fly out tomorrow, (Wednesday) morning, so will probably be home as you read this.
I have had a wonderful eleven day with family, dogs and pampering.
Thank you to Superman: Bassel, WonderWoman: Erin, GH#1: Jordan, GD#1: Raquel, GH#3: Zack, Tina & Larry! Thank you all!
