Bill and his guardian we met at the airport this morning

Where they ate dinner at their hotel

Bill must have loved the food.  I have never seen him take this much from a buffet because he never likes that much stuff

Their Hotel and Banquet Hall they ate in

We read our Bibles in the morning, then left and headed to the airport for Bill to go on the Honor Flight.  There were greeters waiting at the door that directed us to where we needed to go.  We went to the gold table and they gave Bill a bag with a shirt he and all the vets will be wearing tomorrow.  We met his guardian for the trip.  She was nice.  This is her second time going as guardian.  She has many military people in her family and her husband who passed away was also a vet.  We went and talked to Jim and Bev, and also found out Steve was on the flight too.  I watched til they got to the escalator, then Bev and I left.  I got to Staples and it wasn’t open yet for me to drop off the flag holder Bill got from Amazon that didn’t fit the trike.  He also texted me that he loved me and missed me already.  I texted him back saying the same to him.  He let me know when they landed at Baltimore and then got on buses to go to their first destination.  They sure had a busy day.  Vikki and Peyton picked up our free pizza and brought it over.  We ate in the camper.  This is the first time Peyton has seen it because she was at a friend's Birthday party. We showed her everything after we ate.  Vikki hung the command hooks in the camper.  We went and got the solar cover out of the attic of the shed.  Vikki, Peyton and I came in the house and had strawberry shortcake. Then they left, and I packed my clothes, shoes etc. in the camper.  Bill texted me around 8 saying he was going to bed and that he had to get up at 5 tomorrow morning.  That is super early for him.  I talked to Melissa.  I forgot to call her back earlier.  Happy she was still up when I texted her to see.
