Well, Southwest has a seat sale to Buffalo at the moment, and I have some airmiles to use, so I think I'm going to book a flight home for Mother's Day. $84 for a round trip ticket home sounds like a good Mother's Day present to me.

I just tried..
My trip came to $194 for roundtrip Baltimore to Buffalo..

Indeed it is.

All booked. I had to do a mad scramble to arrange transportation, though, because the seat sale is only on for another half hour. Called my parents and husband twice (he's at work), then called my daughter's landline, then her cell. Found her at my cousin's birthday party, so I ended up speaking to everybody there. Had to get them off the phone so I could book before the deadline. Good times.

haha, that sounds like fun!
So you are off to Canada next month....wooo hoooo! Just got off the phone with my Mom, had sent her some pictures I took in Nebbie and a couple from here, she enjoyed them.
We are going to go grocery shopping this evening, it's a tad warmish outside for me to be venturing out in today, so will wait for it to cool down a bit.

Good Morning!

I'm back. Well, at least for today. I'm off again for 2 days to Columbia MO for a training conference for my volunteer work. Should be fun! Had a lovely vacation with my folks! No excitement for me crossing the border, but more than a few tense moments for Gene when we realized the second morning of our drive just before heading out from Lansing to the border that Gene left his passport at home!

No BC either. A wonderful lady at the crossing let us through though after a friendly conversation (ie. interrogation). Phew...we didn't think we'd get through, and I'll tell you...there were tears of joy when she let us through...
I've only a little time this morning to catch up before I have to head out, so if I missed anything, I'll pick up where I left off on Wednesday. Have a wonderful day!

Tonight is Coopers last puppy training class. He has to do a trick for the last class- I taught him to jump through a hula hoop- pretty easy, I just throw a treat through and off he goes.
Tomorrow he is going for his little "operation" I know it is a routine operation, but I will spend all day worrying about him.
RIP Coopers balls.

His balls are really small so they are really cute right now

Nothing is grosser that a dog with big dangly balls that jiggle around when they walk.
When we first got him, Mel said he didn't want to get him neutered. There is no way I will have an unneutered dog, so I got on him pretty hard about it.
Cooper loves going to Vet- I hope he still does after tomorrow.
I'm glad your kitty is doing good

Thank, Tazz was very happy to come home and sleep the day away.
Cats arent too bad when they get older not like a dog but they still get pretty big and gross too. I also like their personality better after they been altered they get to be bigger babies, well thats always what seems to happen to my animals. Plus all the other reasons to get them neutured is a plus too.
They nice thing about males getting neutered its only 2 tiny cuts, its a little easier then the poor girls. But we still worry either way.
Hugs to both You and Cooper

I buy the Starbucks Medium House Blend. It's in the supermarkets and is really quite good. (Considering the alternatives.

) I get decaf and regular, then mix them in a container at home, but they're both good on their own.

The vacuum had obviously been over it a few times as the post was bent and the diamond was loose, in fact fell out (not sure why the vacuum didn't pick it up but anyhoo).
