Hello All,
It was really nice to see everyone over the weekend. The flight back home went pretty good and even had an unexpected blessing. The original plan was to fly to Manchester via Italy. When I checked in the Italy flight was overbooked so I volunteered to give up my seat. In return Delta put me on the 8.50 direct flight to Manchester, plus 200 delta dollars for a future flight. I asked them about my seating arrangements because I wanted an isle seat. The Delta rep smiled and said she could offer me an upgrade to the ‘Business Class.” I quickly accepted. I must say, the flight was much better than I am used to. Normally I fly ‘cattle class.’ For dinner they fed me steak, grilled shrimp and veg. The starter was a spinach leaf salad, soup and all the bread I wanted. They even let me use real silverware and covered my tray table with a large white cloth. Classy! I have never seen so much food on a flight. Overall it was a great experience but the best part was walking through the gate and seeing the family. I almost think they missed me 
I am still waiting for my luggage, unfortunately it was sent to Italy. But it should be here tonight all being well. Thank you for your prayers and all your help while I was Stateside. You are a tremendous blessing to us.
