Hi Ellie,

Sounds like you had a great time on your trip to Quebec 2 years ago. I have never been to Canada. My sister and her husband have been there several times.

Traveling for long distances by car is not my favorite thing (as a child I used to get car sick). About 2 hours by car is enough for me. I rather fly then drive.

You must be so looking forward to the arrival of your newest grandchild. My second granddaughter was born last November. I miss seeing my granddaughters and am looking forward to another trip to Florida perhaps in the fall.

It's great that we have computers so at least I can see pictures on line.

I hope your brother is doing well. I have been including him in my prayers.

Take care.

Phyllis

Thank you for yourprayers for my brother-- he's doing okay so far, finishes the chemo/radiation on June 23-- then they will see how things are. They have a beautiful cottage on the Georgian Lakes at Pointe Au Baril, and he will go there for a recuperation period when the treatment finishes.
Flying.. well, that trip to Canada was my first time ever overseas, and only my second time ever on a plane!
My kids made me do a trip from Melbourne to Sydney.. just an hours flight..to get used to it before I did the big one to Canada. And wouldn't you know it, on that flight. the Melb/Sydney one there was a bomb scare! I couldnt believe it. My first ever of flying and we have a bomb scare!
It was all okay tho.. nothing really, just the airline being careful.
My new grandchild is due in Nov too.. tho not sure what date.. will have to check that out.
Ellie.

Ellie,

I am glad that your brother is doing ok. (I have a list by my bedside that I pray for each night for friends and anyone that needs special prayers that I know about.)

How frightening to have a bomb scare on your first plane ride. You were brave to continue flying again. It better to be safe when any question of safety.

I got pulled aside when I made a trip to Florida and had to take my shoes off. The only good thing was that someone had told me before not to worry just be sure to wear clean socks. It did make me nervous though to be singled out and pulled aside. I was traveling alone and I also had to change planes on that trip. On my last 2 visits I have traveled with my ex-husband and I enjoyed the company. I am looking forward to another trip either in November or January. I miss my granddaughters and wish there were closer by.

Today was a beautiful day here in New Hampshire. It was cool with a nice breeze and sunny.

Have a nice weekend.

Phyllis
