Re: Off and On Topic-Steve in Alaska

I sympathise with your experiences.
I was perfectly OK when I went through Chicago on the train! changing stations at that. (I was on my way to Mexico from Canada - I wouldn't fly then >g<)

So glad Aunt Gail's quilt was appreciated in a good spirit - love her husband's remark. I was just going to say that these older people know how to have fun - when I realised I'm only two and a bit years off that. Help >ggg<

I don't like Chicago either. My previous two expierences were also awful.
One was a plane mechanical cancellation that took 9 hours to get out of
there and the other was literally from the last gate in Terminal 1 to the
next to the last gate in Terminal 3 with a two hour layover and Bert just
out of the hospital and having to walk the whole way. I too avoid Chicago
if at all possible.

Aunt Gail liked her quilt. I must say that mine paled in comparison to
Mom's for her though. Mom made her a poppy quilt that was just beautiful.
I'll look for a picture of that. Again, in all the commotion, the emotion
was a bit lost, but the next day I got a picture of her and me with it and
she commented about it a bit more. Jim, her new second husband, thinks that
they should hang it over the bed as a fertility offering, even though she's
69. We all got the meaning and laughed about that. Between the red of
Mom's and orange of mine, it should brighten things up a bit.
