Expand Your Sandbox

What do yachts, sandboxes, Heather Locklear, therapy, and lookin good in blue jeans all have in common? My flight home from Florida! I really wanted to make sure that I finished up my fabulous trip commentary so I don't forget.(Blogging is my way of keeping a journal) On my flight from Florida to Georgia, I was engaged in a conversation with a man who was retired Military and goes to the Florida Keys to run around in his yacht.(Do I smell money? ha ha!) Anyway, I think after finding out I'm just a simple Mormon girl from Utah who hasn't traveled around the world like he has, he told me I needed to expand my sandbox! (And I think he wanted to join me in the expansion! whoa!(I started humming a hymn while I experienced what I will politely call a "hot Flash") :) All of this happened before I even got on the plane! Then I ended up sitting by the window and the isle seat was already occupied so I apologized as I told the older gentleman thatI needed to get into the window seat. He had quite the sense of humor and told me no. I teased him that I would crawl over him if he didn't let me in and lets just say he really liked that idea! ha ha He made a comment that he wouldn't tell his wife! :) The man that ended up sitting in the middle seat between us was a 24 year old Delta Pilot and we all three had a nice conversation and teased the whole way. When we landed, the man in the isle seat(can't remember his name-surprise) snapped his fingers and said, "Hey, I know who you remind me of! Heather Locklear! Wow, I think the old guy needs glasses but Jeff would have loved that since he LOVED Heather Locklear!
When we landed in Salt Lake, a very nice looking guy followed me to the baggage claim and started a conversation with me. He knew that I was a grandma since he overheard me talking to Hunter on the phone. He said he noticed me when I was walking out of the plane and that I looked good in my jeans! What exactly do you say to that? Ummm! We talked about my work with Pornography addictions and Social Networking problems and he told me he had been divorced for 4 years because his wife had found someone over the Internet. How sad! We visited for quite awhile and talked about LDS beliefs when he asked if I was a Mormon. He was from Florida and here on business with Hill Air Force Base. Super nice guy! So my last day was quite interesting. So grateful to have been able to go and ready to go back! Happy day!

I love this! But I'm not going to lie, I'm disturbed that Delta pilots can be 24 years old. Are you kidding me?!
