Texas for dental work and surprise birthday present

We are back in Duncanville, Texas this weekend so Scott could get some dental work done and we could surprise Katie's Mom for her birthday on Saturday. We left Grand Cayman at around noon on Thursday getting to Miami by 2 in the afternoon. But storms in DFW delayed our flight then caused a three hour flight from Miami to DFW to become a 6 hour flight and an unscheduled stop in Lubbock to refuel when the plane couldn't land at DFW. We had hoped to surprise Gail at her school in the early evening but that turned into a 1:00 a.m. wake up surprise when we finally got to Katie's parents house. Russell knew we were coming late last week and did such a good job of keeping the secret Gail had no idea, even slipping out to pick us up at the airport when our flight finally landed at midnight.

Today Scott got his tooth fixed. He had cracked a veneer last week and since they use different bonding material in Cayman we had to get the work done in the States. We could have gone to a dentist in Miami but decided to spend the extra money and come to Texas for Gail's birthday.

We are here through Sunday morning then return to Cayman.
