Happy Thanksgiving

The day before Thanksgiving has been an exciting one for me. This morning I was flying out of Cody, Wyoming. And to make a very long story short. We were having some problems with the fuel truck that was trying to give us fuel. Well according to "Vinnie" the fueler the "line broke" and so the choices were, go and get the other truck or fix the line. So my Captain told him to do what ever was faster. That was going and getting the other truck. So we are waiting patiently for him to go and get the truck and fuel the aircraft. And suddenly, a ramper comes running around the aircraft and said the fuel truck was on FIRE and we needed to deplane. WE DID DEPLANE.....I yelled EVERYONE OFF NOW!!!!! LEAVE EVERYTHING..... so they all ran off, the fueler got in his truck and tried to drive it away from our a/c . (not while it was still on fire, they said it was a flash fire and then sparks started flying around) Well needless to say, we were all okay, they fixed the other truck and we made it safely to SLC.
What a day, it has been a long one. After all the excitment I have been able to get the food ready for tomarrow we are having Thanksgiving Dinner at our house and I am trying a new thing with the Turkey. 50/50 chance this will be good. I will let you know.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone, I am going to blog my list of things I am greatful for, and hope to see all of your lists too:)
