Wednesday August 19, 2009

Today is a travel day. Nancy and Bob start their big adventure. We are accompanying our daughter, Tasha, to Kazakhstan. That's right folks, Kazakhstan, in central Asia. I finished packing last night. Tasha said we would have plenty of downtime so I bought 5 books from Amazon and downloaded them to my Kindle.

Bob and Nancy always have a big argument about the correct time to be at the airport. Our plane leaves at 4:20 PM and I want the taxi to pick us up at 2:30. Nancy says that is stupid 3 will get us to the airport in plenty of time. I whine so much she relents and the taxi picks us up at 2:30.

Our flight to Chicago is on time and we meet Tasha in Chicago. Our United flight to Frankfurt was suppose to leave at 6:00 PM. The flight is delayed by 2 hours because of thunder storms in Chicago. At midnight we are some place over the Atlantic Ocean.

Ossineke, MI this date in 1938. It is Friday and GG drove to Alpena. He picked up his coat at the cleaners and bought chicken feed. GG worked in the post office in the afternoon. He also got a haircut and a shave. A barber shave is a luxury. My Grandfather Hughes when he reached 65 use to get a barber shave most every day. This was something that he enjoyed and it let everyone know that Roland Hughes was a successful man.
