I was hoping to get together with you again but we had more birthdays to celebrate than I realized. Lol! 
You have no idea how much I love to fly. Lol! I manifest my trips by grabbing the feeling of exhilaration I get upon entering the terminal. I’m like a kid in a candy store. Every time I grab for that feeling another chance to travel materializes. I feel like I had an awesome vacation right along with you! Was awesome getting to know you, hope your flight home is as good as your “flight” in the airport!
I still shake when I relive the experience of that evening. Lol! There was a powerful energy in the room that day. 
I am blessed with a permanent window seat up front as a professional passenger (without getting into too much detail, but I’m not a pilot), and the views are stunning every time.When I ordered the return tickets I purposely left it up to the universe to pick the seats. My preference is the window, particularly when flying near the Rockies, and this leg is into Denver.
Turns out I got window seats on both planes.

Have a great day Sue!
OMG.... I'm so excited I could dance. Lol! Eventually his White Widow line will find its way into our garden. 
Just saying. Lol!
The daughter's really hoping J has a clone cutting of the Royal Gorilla.
Hey Tead!
Yeah, I'm a blessed man, and was fortunate to maintain well paid employment throughout my adult years. I never lived up to my means in my 40s and 50s, and was able to save for retirement. Many times I wanted to buy "things", but I usually resisted the urge. Well most of the time, I did spend a bunch on an old classic car restoration in the 90s, but it ended up being a wash as I sold it 3 years ago and got more than I put into it (minus a lot of time!). I thought college for my kids was going to break the bank a couple of times, but scholarships and grants really helped. Blessed, yes I am.
My wife wanted to keep the MIL cottage as it was, rather old and dated, but after I renovated it from floor to roof, she's very happy with my efforts. She was afraid one of the kids or grand kids would "need" a place to stay. That was a tough job, I haven't installed a HVAC system in almost 20 years, and had to dig deep into the grey matter, and hunt through a dozen boxes to find my gauges. I really like retirement and getting to do all of the home work myself, very satisfying (my wife calls it cheap).
Peace
Keith
