The New Kinder, Gentler Me - The Rubber Chicken is Loose!! Pg 19/#283!!!

[tiggerwannabe]

Hmmmm....it's been a while...where were we? Ah yes, the airport...everyone in Sanford Airport now knows ALL about us. Nothing left to hide...right down to our street name, DH & my first names...you name it. Michael has taught newbies the correct way to tour the World, complete with Fastpass instructions!

He was still pretty chatty during the actual plane ride...Jeffrey, Jeffrey, Jeffrey...just not as "out of his mind" as on the ride down. It was a quick, smooth ride and we were back in NC in no time.

It was cold and dreary...not at all a good day.

The plane was pretty full on the way back and luggage took a while to come out. Kinston, who had been her constant companion, had no checked luggage so she was gone as soon as they unloaded us.

Wilson, however, had still yet remained "unclaimed". She sat quietly. Alone. Waiting for her luggage. DH & I decided that as soon as the bags came out we'd get her taken care of and wait with her until her family arrives. She couldn't take care of her own luggage any more than she could nail Jello to a tree.

Everything she owned was in her bags. How someone could just drop her off like they did blows my mind. She was 80 lbs soaking wet and no lie - her luggage weighed more than her.

And sure enough, here we are and she's alone again. Where's this big veterinarian son of hers??

It boggles the mind, doesn't it

No matter how happy or how sad, family is forever. It really bothers me when people don't take care of their own. You and you family are such good people, I am proud to call you friend.

Looking forward to your next adventure---

LYMI!

colleen.

That vet must be one of those out of town big city folk who took up residence in Wilson. A true Wilsonian would never treat his mother that way!

You've taught him well, Jedi Master!

Great analogy Poor Wilson

And sure enough, here we are and she's alone again. Where's this big veterinarian son of hers??

Y'know, this oculd be us someday... we'd better start working some guilt on our boys now!

You're leaving us hanging AGAIN?!

Now that's a son of a TRUE Dis-er!

It was cold and dreary...not at all a good day.

Back to reality, which, in case you didn't know... BITES!

Poor Wilson! You guys were so sweet to stay with her.

Dying to find out how all this pans out.
Do you adopt her and bring home a new "Gramma"? Wait it reminds me of that commercial where the father brings home a new Gramma because ... wait, I can't remember why, but I think she's Russian or something... it was really funny. Oh, nevermind. Carry on.

 

[DisneyJo]

Lauralee come on don't leave us hanging again! Did she get picked up? Did you adopt her? Is she still there or just trying to nail jello on a tree I'll have to remember that expression my "real" friends will definately think I've flipped if I use it

Ok, sorry for the abrupt ending...I was writing at work, and as usual had to hurry and scoot out before I was seen !!

Anyway, the luggage started coming out and there was a mad crushing rush to the conveyor belt. Finally someone came and claimed Wilson. And not for nothing, but he looked almost as old as she did. I was concerned about how HE'd carry her bags now... and he brought half the family with him to the airport. He's got this young chickie with a baby in a stroller with him. Hmmm....can't figure out how THEY got together...He looked like a really old version of Bulldog from Frasier. And she...Hmmm...Bulldog's daughter at best.

I approached them all and wedged myself between Wilson and her son and told her that it was a pleasure speaking with her and I'm glad to see that someone finally showed up to get her. He shot me a pissy look and she thanked me and we said goodbye. Goodbye Wilson! Good luck!

And with that, we grabbed our bags and headed out into the cold...

Thanks everyone for sticking with me through this long trip of short visit!!

LY/MI!!!

 

[princessjv]

Ahhh... Thant was a great ending! it was so nice of you to wait and make sure Wilson was okay! What a great lady you are!

I can't wait to hear about your next adventures. I wonder if Mrs. kinder and Gentler will make an apperance...

Thanks for the great read! It was worth the short & long of it!

Nah, I prefer Jack-n-Coke Lauralee! Just sayin....

 

[PrincessV]

I'm so glad someone finally showed up for Wilson - though I know you'd have given her a better home!

It's really over? Bummer.

Thank you for allowing us all to travel with you and your fabulous guys again, and many, many, many thanks for the pics and descriptions of SSR

Okay, back to your old self and on with the next pre-trippie!

 

[DisneyJo]

I love your TR's Lauralee you are such a funny witty writer and I can't wait for your Pre TR to start hint hint (I know I'm not the one who should be hinting as I'm not doing one yet but I can try can't I! ) And you were so kind waiting with Wilson

Maybe he got lost in the Kinston airport? Or maybe he couldn't find parking? Since K-town is so big and all. I know he still isn't used to the re-routed 258 so he ended up in Farmville? But way to speak up for her! I can't wait for your pre-trippie!

 

[tiggerwannabe]

Pre-trip...pre-trip...pre-trip...pre-trip!

Thank you!! I could probably almost guarantee you that Mrs. K & G won't be attending our little gathering in August!! I'm leaving her in the attic where she belongs!! Nice and Easy is NO FUN...

WHAT???? That's supposed to satisfy me until next week???? DOH! That's like giving a whale a tic-tac!

LY,MI!


Nah, I prefer Jack-n-Coke Lauralee! Just sayin....

Oh yeah baby!! Jack-n-Coke Lauralee!! She is my kinda gal!! In fact, I'll be meeting with her in approximately 6 hours where she will be unleashed for 4 hedonistic days...God I love St. Louis!!

I'm so glad someone finally showed up for Wilson - though I know you'd have given her a better home!

It's really over? Bummer.

Thank you sweetie! Me, my old self and my new pre-trippie will be back on Sunday night!!

What? No you can't be finished! And going away for the weekend too how are we going to manage? I love your TR's Lauralee you are such a funny witty writer and I can't wait for your Pre TR to start hint hint (I know I'm not the one who should be hinting as I'm not doing one yet but I can try can't I! ) And you were so kind waiting with Wilson

Thank you my friend...Give Oliver a little kiss for me! Hope he's improving - I want a full report Sunday night! Talk to you then!! And maybe while I'm gone you can start working on YOUR Pre-Trip!!!! Hint, HINT...

Maybe he got lost in the Kinston airport? Or maybe he couldn't find parking? Since K-town is so big and all. I know he still isn't used to the re-routed 258 so he ended up in Farmville? But way to speak up for her! I can't wait for your pre-trippie!

Hmmm....I got lost and ended up on 258...longest trip ever from Kinston to G'Vegas baby!!! I don't know where I went wrong!! Allegiant won't let me book a flight after August 7th or so...I wonder if they're going to stop the flights outta there?

Pre-trip...pre-trip...pre-trip...pre-trip!

I'm all over it!!!!! Madly compiling facts as we speak...something to work on for my flight!!!

 

[sorul82?]

Gosh, I hope Allegient is still flying from K-town.

 

[sharkB8HooHaHa]

Lauralee,
I've been bogged down with company and my DIS time was stolen from me!! I am finally getting to your last installment, and it's short, sweet, and a little too final. When can we look for your pre-trip?????

Thanks for letting us tag along!

 

[Lauralee131]

Thanks for coming along Sharkb8...it's been a pleasure. I've started writing the pre-trip but haven't yet had time to type up and post...have family here for the week, but will get it up and going as soon as I can!
