I must love that boy very very much!<br /><br />Like yourself, I use to love to fly. Now I think I'd rather have major surgery or a root canal. At least with those you get something for the pain and discomfort.<br /><br />The cost is about the same these days too. I loved your post. Thank you.Kevin B.

I usually drive as far as I can until dark, then stop overnight and venture on the next morning. It's exhausting, but so was this flight.<br /><br />Next time, I'm taking my broom!linda_rettstatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17409729869837474776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8071578858787530823.post-80053190277732152572012-06-11T13:36:36.247-05:002012-06-11T13:36:36.247-05:00Hahaha--free mammogram.

I won't have to go through any of it. And I sure wouldn't want a security guard trying to check me out. Bad enough to have to go to the hospital for that.<br /><br />A delightful post.
