Our Very Own Valet Service

This week we have been house and cat sitting at Debra and Rod's.  They were attending a food bloggers conference in Italy.  From all the pictures and writings, they are had a wonderful time.

We had volunteered to take them to the airport in Indy, and then to pick them up went they came home.
Today we drove down to pick them up.  Their plane was to arrive at 7:30 pm, allowing us an easy and safe time to drive the interstates around Indy.

We chose to go 9 to Greenfield and had our supper at the Bob Evans there.  I know, I know, we eat at Bob Evans in Anderson ALL the time, but it was closest  to the I70 on ramp, and we know what we like on their menu.  And, indeed, supper was delicious.

Then we drove 70 to 465 and had no problems circling Indianapolis via downtown.  We made excellent time, and arrived at the airport a little early.  Rod had instructed us to wait in the cell phone lot where he would call us when they arrived and were ready for pick up.  The "new" airport is so nice and easy to access.  There was a convenience store right at the cell phone lot.  Don went in and bought  ice cream and coffee for us.  So we enjoyed dessert and coffee while we watched the beautiful cloud formations, and the planes coming and going.

 It was a really fun "date" !  And before long Rod called and they had arrived.  So we picked up the world travelers.

They were very tired, having been up for 24 hours, but had many stories about their week.  We made it back home in an hour, and they were very happy to see "home."
