"..in the End, all that really matters isn't the things you did, but what its effects are today, not the knowledge you have learned, but how you applied it, not the words that were said, but how they made you feel, and most of all, not the moment of occurrence, but how its now just a part of our memory.. Everyday, we make memories.. Let's paint lives with happy ones.."

Back to reality.

  After being away for nine days, Iris is happy to have us home.  She had a wonderful stay at her best friends home. Thank goodness for 'great friends' who care our loving pet as much as we do.
Makes us feel less guilty leaving her behind. Somehow, she learned a few things while we were away.
After trying for five years to train her not to jump on people, with no luck....our friends were able to train her to do just that....in nine days! Along with curbing her begging routine too. Thank you M. & S.! :)
  Our flight back was uneventful. Always less exciting to fly home.
  Some of our luggage took the long way home via Cinncinati, but it was delivered the next day, as promised by Delta Airlines.
  Funny how silly one can feel while standing at the luggage belt. Waiting, waiting, waiting...
hoping that maybe, just maybe, the belt may turn back on and your missing luggage will miraculously appear through that little hole in the wall? But, it does'nt. And you look at each other, tired and discouraged....off to the luggage claim office we go....ugh.
