made it to florida after a little shakey start. let's just say my husband loves, loves trap shooting and loads his own bullets and shells. he was doing that the morning of flight. walking without cane, i touch table he was using for balance. guess who gets stop at security after scan?told not to touch anyone or anything while they got head of security.i felt like an outcast.sisters told not to touch meand me not to touch anybody or anything..so weird.

after being checked again, they finally said i had tested positive for explosives after telling them about husband they seemed to relax some as they brought me to the private room for more screening. anyone who truly knows my sisters and i would not be surprised by this; .nor by the fact that when we arrived in florida they were having a major wildfire 20 mis. away. it burned 17,000 acres.feeling jinxed we're just happy we can still go places together. i will say you have to have a snense of humor to get by.

our time in florida was wonderful. sunshine and 70's everyday.not a snowflake in sight.spent most time sitting by ocean reading and eating. hate having to come back to reality. 15 degrees here with another 1-3 ins. of snow tonight. ick. brother showed us best places for homemade ice cream. now that i'm home, i'll proably have to step on that scale. trip home uneventful except that they tore sisters new luggage, from scotland; . they said it was normal wear and tear. only 2nd time she used it.arrive home , husband waiting near curb and afraid of getting ticket like last time. he loads luggage too quickly and without really looking slams down handle on sisters luggage thinking it was mine. didn't see button to lower handle. CRACK, there goes handle . oh well, it already was torn. i tell you it's the whole family.amazing we're allowed to go anywhere without giving notice we're coming. we did have a wonderful timejust sorry about suitcase.missed you guys and i have a lot of reading and updating to go through. blessings lynn
