There's been some progress on the latest landscape as you can see from the photo...
Our #2 son made it to Halifax for the trade show but it was sheer luck. His original flight was cancelled due to the massive snowstorm in and around Halifax and he was rescheduled for Monday but with an additional stopover in Montreal. He left here at 7 am Monday and just as he was on the plane from Toronto to Montreal he was informed that for his second leg of the journey he was bumped down to flying standby. He was extremely lucky and was the very last one that they allowed on the plane. Phew! Having to stay in the airport overnight was not a pleasant prospect. He got to Halifax safely and then worked hard getting set up for the trade show. Now it's to be hoped that his return to BC today will be uneventful. He has a stopover in Calgary which is on a really tight timeline so hopefully he'll get out of Halifax and make his connection. Although everything didn't go entirely as planned we got an extra day to spend with him so we're not complaining! EDITED TO ADD: Current update on his status - flight this morning was delayed out of Halifax which means he'll miss his connection in Calgary. This entire trip has been nothing but a hassle for the poor guy.
- THIS is a rather cute quick project for Valentine's day.
- I thought THIS was intriguing - something that would be good to have on hand should the power go out in the cold weather. (scroll down for the how-to)
- Of course you know THIS would catch my denim-loving eye!
- HERE is another quick little project suitable for Valentine's day.
Your landscape is coming together so well;))--love the sun rays on both sides--and the cloudscape...beautiful work on this
ReplyDeletehugs, Julierose
Thank you Julierose! There's a ton of French knots on this one that I don't think really show up in the photo.
DeleteWhy why schedule national trade events, bringing people across the continent in FEBRUARY? I hope he eventually gets home
ReplyDeleteExactly!!! It's been nothing but stress for him, that's for sure. He will be very happy to get home I know. At least there's a number of flights from Calgary to Vancouver today so hopefully he can manage to get onto one of them.
DeletePrayers he is home safely
ReplyDeleteWhat an ordeal. Between weather and schedules, it is a wonder anyone flies.
Yes, flying certainly isn't for the faint of heart! He certainly has learned a lot on this trip and discovered he can handle pretty much anything. He's about an hour away from home now and we'll all be relieved when he gets there.
DeleteThe landscape is coming along nicely. When we came back from our Spain/Portugal trip we missed our flight to Saskatchewan due to a delay, and had to catch a flight from Vancouver to Calgary, where we almost missed the flight once again to Regina. Made it by the skin of our teeth.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
He managed to get on a later plane out of Calgary to Vancouver and is driving home from the airport now. Huge relief all around!
DeleteYour landscape is really progressing nicely! Your poor son, travel can be such a stressful thing. Glad you got to spend some lovely time together an also glad to see in the comment above that he is nearly home!! xx
ReplyDeleteI hate traveling and certainly wouldn't want to have to tackle all the issues he did on his own. He certainly learned that it isn't fun.
DeleteI love that landscape you did an excellent job. glad your son's trip went by okay.
ReplyDeleteThis landscape came together fairly quickly despite all the French knots I added. I'm glad #2 son is home from this one, that's for sure.
DeleteI feel so bad for your son. I used to travel a lot for work and had a few trips like that. It's utter misery. Your new landscape, on the other hand, is beautiful! You are just amazing at them.
ReplyDeleteThank you Vicki. Yes, sometimes travel can be a huge challenge, especially in Canada in the wintertime. He's gone from Halifax where the snow is multiple feet deep to BC where the tulips are starting to grow and I'm sure he's more than glad to be home.
DeleteSo thankful your son made his trip to and from safely. Your landscape is coming along beautifully. I always love hearts in any medium. Oh how Maya Angelou said it just right. Blessings My Friend…
ReplyDeleteWe're thankful too!
DeleteGlad things worked out for your son.
ReplyDeleteWe were too - it was a trip he doesn't want to repeat that's for sure.
DeleteSorry he missed his connection, and all the stress that went with it. At least he's home now and hopefully can stay put for a while! But you got to benefit from his crazy travels, so that's a plus.
ReplyDeleteYes, we got the best of the deal! Travel in Canada in the winter can certainly be a challenge.
DeleteWow! That's really coming along beautifully. Sorry to hear about all the hassle with the trip. Bet he'll be glad to be home and relax. That poem speaks volumes to me.
ReplyDeleteYes, I know he was more than happy to get home, for sure. We were happy to know he got back safely too.
