Stuck in PA because of snow...

We've had a nice visit with all of Todd's family. They're such a large, warm, loving group of people. The service was yesterday at a Greek Orthodox church that they were members of. I'd never been to a Greek funeral. It was different than any I'd ever been to. It's so interesting to see the various rituals that different cultures & religions have. We couldn't understand most of what the greek priests said, but, it seemed comforting to his family to know that she was receiving blessings as she was passing from this life to her next.

We were supposed to fly home this afternoon (we'd be on a plane right now on our way to Chicago), but b/c of snow & delays... our airline cancelled their flight. They're re-routing us through Charlotte NC tomorrow before we make it home.

On our way up, we went through Chicago and it was 2 degrees. 2! (and we had to walk out onto the tarmac to get to our little commuter plane) 2 is cold. thankfully, it was only for a short time!

I should run. Time to go eat (again). Lots of food. Lots of family outings this trip. Big, loud, good-spirited family outings!
