MARCH 17 2016

We have made it onto the plane , no issues 
Best quote so far from ticket guy at gate 
" that dog is not going to fit on the plane "

I AM GLAD WE SENT MEGAN WITH CLARK AND CAROLINE...
 CAROLINE MIGHT HAVE BELIEVED THE  NOT/CAN'T/WON'T 'S 

WITH APPOLOGIES TO EDGAR GUEST...
"SOMEBODY SAID THAT IT COULDN'T BE DONE
BUT MEG WITH A CHUCKLE REPLIED
%^&*()_+"  ------

SO CAROLINE IS WELL ON HER WAY TO OHIO-- 
AND SOMEHOW MEG IS ON STANDBY AND EXPECTS TO BE BACK AFTER LUNCH.
AIN'T THE MODERN TRAVEL WONDERFUL?

MEGAN'S MOM WORKED FOR DELTA FOR YEARS.. SO MEG KNOWS HER WAY AROUND AN AIRPORT.
***
I AM OF THE AGE WERE FLYING WAS SO SPECIAL YOU GOT DRESSED UP TO GET ON A PLANE
I CAN REMEMBER WOBBLING ALONG THE AISLE IN  4"HEELS-- 
WITH MATCHING LUGGAGE-- THAT DID NOT ROLL........ WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT.. !!
AND THE  PLANE INTO MAINE WAS 2 AND 1 SEATING.. AND YOU HAD TO CLIMB UPHILL
TO GET TO THE FRONT.
THAT PLANE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE FIT INSIDE THE ONE MEGAN WILL COME BACK ON
******
  THE COSTCO TRIP WAS LOVELY-- I WENT IN THE TRANSFER CHAIR ( WHEELCHAIR WITHOUT THE SIDE WHEELS)
PULLED BY BENTLEY-- WHO LOVED IT !!
AND I DIDN'T HIT ANYONE-- WE SCARED A FEW-- BUT THEY SMILED...
AND BEST OF ALL JEFF WAS WITH ME TO LOAD ALL THE STUFF... WHILE I GAVE OUT POKERCHIPS
I LOVE IT WHEN  PEOPLE SEE BENTLEY AND  SAY "THAT'S BEAUTIFUL"  AND I  GET TO SAY "ME OR THE DOG?"
***
WE DID THE SHOPPPING FOR DANVES ANIMAL HOSPITAL-- 
MEGAN USUALLY DOES IT WHILE TRAINING... BUT THIS WORKED VERY WELL
ESPECIALLY WITH JEFF TO DO THE LUGGING.  HE GETS AN "A" IN  CAR PACKING.
*******

SPEAKING OF POKERCHIPS--- WE HAVE NOMINATED MARK AS VOLUNTEER OF TEH YEAR 
 TOTHE PATRIOTS ORGANIZATION..  HE REALLY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR 
AN  AWFUL LOT OF DETAILS  AROUND HERE BESIDES PHOTOS AND HAMBERGERS...
MOST HORRIFFIC TO ME IS WITH THE OVER 15,000 PHOTOS HE HAS TAKEN ,,
 IF I NEED ONE OF THEM... HE CAN FIND IT IN 4.2 SECONDS.  AMAZING SKILL SET.

HUNTER AND WENDY'''
It has been awhile since Hunter has emailed, but he's has been very busy since his surgery.
 During Hunter's 6 days at Boston Children's hospital, everyone was
 in awe of Wendy for every reason possible. 
She did great under stressful conditions!

Hi Carlene,

I have to tell you, how right you were, what a relaxed, maturing, obedient companion Emmett is becoming. It will be 6 months next week that you gave me my best friend and he is so good. You told me it would be 6 months to be a team.   Emmett is no longer afraid of children, chasing after squirrels, disliking the ocean, nervous at crowded stores, and other behaviors he has gotten more confident at. He never leaves my side, walks at my pace, hops out of my car at attention and is all business, helps me maneuver obstacles such as inclines, curbs, stairs and much more, all by voice I hardly need to give him a tug anymore. I attributed it to lots of hard work and your advice, Steve's, Kati's, Megan's and everyone else.

HERE'S ONE THAT WILL REALLY DRIVE YOU NUTS..
WRITTEN BY MY DAUGHTER JANINE - WHO UNFORTUNATELY ... KNOWS THIS STUFF
OR AT LEAST SEVERAL COLLEGES THINK SHE KNOWS THIS STUFF.
SHE SAYS THIS IS ALL REAL AND IN OPERATION NOW....

WHAT THAT MEANS IS ... IF YOU MAKE A KEY PUNCH ERROR
 AND GO TO EBAY AND SEARCH ---BOMBS ---INSTEAD OF ---COMBS---
 THE RFID IN YOUR SHOE COULD TELL THE AIRPORT NOT TO LET YOU ON A PLANE.
SHE SAYS THE SYSTEM IS IN PLACE TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT NOW.


IT IS WORTH A ONCEOVER...
