Home again, home again, jiggity jig

We have been in Texas for the last 5 days. I have so much to blog about, but I will have to start with why we were there. We went to my paw paw's memorial service. Me, Mike and the kids flew to Texas to be there for the service. We left Thursday morning at the crack of dawn and drove to El Paso (because we live in the sticks, we have to drive two hours to the closest airport) to catch the plane. We had to lave extra early to get to the airport an hour and a half before the plane took off, because of Scarlett's peanut allergy. They told us to get there early so we would get to be seated with group A. We got there in time and got seated with group B. Group B sits in the back of the plane apparently. They do not allow preboarding so we literally got the last row in the plane. No PREBOARDING! If airline company's had any since at all, they would keep the front rows open for passengers with young children or elderly people. Do they not get that when little children are on planes, they will start to cry loudly if they are the last ones to get off the plane?! Also, kids poop in their diapers, and wouldn't they want the stinky kids off the plane faster.
In mid flight, the flight attendants passed out pretzels and drinks. A couple people started asking for peanuts, and one lovely flight attendant pointed in our direction and said, "we have a peanut allergy person on board so we are not serving nuts." I wanted to stand up and say, "yep, that would be us, and if any of you have a problem with it, SHAME ON YOU!" People were mad that it was a "nut" less flight. Really, people cant wait one hour to have some nuts?! AMAZING!
One the way home, we were sitting in the airport terminal, and we heard and announcement, "Would the family of Scarlett Grace Remund please report to Gate 7 counter" Her we go, call attention to her again! We walked up to the ticket counter and a lady asked us what grade allergy she had and gave us a ticket to preboard before anyone else. We were seated in the front row of the plane, and no one pointed out that she had a peanut allergy. Everything is better in South Texas!
