We're on Our Way!

Grandma Dolly got us to the airport with plenty of time to spare, and even though the staff wanted to argue with me about the bike trailer going free, it went free.  Here's the link they couldn't find, though.   It's down towards the bottom, if you want to see it, hit ctrl+f and type in "Stroller Acceptance For a Ticketed or Lap Child" and at seven years old, he's definitely a ticketed child.

All three filghts were great, the airports themselves were ok, with the exception of Chicago's O'Hare.  I found out later, after dumping a bag in the bathroom, and throwing away a bunch of books, and our favorite blanket, that the AA people at O'Hare flat out lied to me.  Lazy butts!!!  When I calm down, I'm calling to complain.






Karl made friends with a young man going with a group on a missions trip to Bolivia.

More pics soon!

Also, the day before we left, Grandma Judy got me a  new laptop and a MagicJack. You might want one, too, before going overseas.
 Here's a review I wrote a while back on ReviewStream.com about MagicJack.

Sudden Move

Paid the bills today and half an hour later, there's a knock on the door.  Someone called in about Cubby barking.  It's Animal Care and Control.  She saw the cats, and called her supervisor.  He came in and called City Code.  The came out and called CPS.  City Code condemned the house.  Here I am with CPS and about a dozen other people in the house, so I got bold, and told the CPS lady she had to help us.  And she did.  She got us out of there, and quick.  We ended up at the Y Shelter for Domestic Violence.  Everything is going to be ok now.  The entire time, I'm praying.  It works!
