SHOPPING TIME!! :)

ont perdu les bagages?

C’est vrai .. moudi!!

Oh,no!

Time to go SHOPPING

YES~! Halleujah~it’s PARIS~whoohoo! And SHOPPING

time…! Ummm, I hope they don’t make her go to Walmart.I mean, I love Walmart, and all. But there’s a time andplace for everything. Let the shopping begin!

The luggage got sent to Peoria!

The kids seem to be managing well :)

Well, I hope they let her get something nice. That shewill remember. I mean truthfully, she is going toneed something practical, for everyday. But hey, she needs to get one item just for her. Somethingspecial, she will always remember.

She could always wear it in Peoria.

It just figures. They may not have the money to buy all they’ll need, and assuming the airline reimburses them, they could be waiting months for it.

“Okay…now explain that in English.”http://www.freetranslation.com/ says that “c’est maudi” means “This is cursed.” I’ll let others use that url to translate more.

Last family trip where airline lost (and broke) my luggage was Branson- great for the grandkids, but not so much for my taste, just watching them play was best while sewing on my current project. Luggage was retrived after 24HR but broken handles and wheels. First night I had to shop (and for new luggage later) and NO stores in town but Walmart ;-(

This is why I now always ship my clothes etc in a really sturdy box by UPS. Always arrives at my destination before me with no danger of breakage or theft (assuming I packed carefully). The cost may be a little more than the airlines, but it is MY WAY!

As a frequent flier, I always carry one extra pair of undergarments and a shirt in my carry-on. I’ve had this happen way too many times. I think my luggage has more frequent flier miles that I do!

Hee hee hee!

Calvin Hobbs …comments from yesterday left me baffled!!

..they were in the luggage….

Can we just let someone actually have a good time?

Wow.

Maybe their bags went to Paris, TX.

I’ll look for their bags when I drive thru Peoria Oregon.

One minute later….

Nope. Not there.
