I am back!

So here I am back in my own place and getting back to normal.
I had a wonderful time in Ottawa. It is always difficult to say goodbye. But I read a book that Yvonne had left me in the guestroom. This book kept my mind off having to leave them behind. I was even reading it while standing in line. The book by the way is called : "The Shack". I have to mail this one back to her, but I am going to buy it. It is a book I highly recommend to anybody. You can go to the website, which is: http://www.theshackbook.com/


I had some trouble going through the security. I guess they saw something in my carry-on that was NOT supposed to be in there. Both guys were rummaging through my suitcase, good grief I thought what the heck are they looking for. Two 8oz bottles of of body wash. Expensive stuff from the body shop. I nearly cried when the guy said: "Sorry you can't take that along!" I was so organized, so I thought, all the small bottles of make up etc in a small plastic bag just the way they like it but...I never thought about that stuff. I felt like saying: "Okay guys, look at this face, what in the world would I carry in my bags to harm anybody!" But of course you don't else they taser you, hahaha!

But he advised me to check the carry-on at the WestJet counter. So while all other passengers were staring at me I took my stuff out of the security area and back up stairs.
Of course I had to go through the security again. May be they thought I might have smuggled something else in the short period.

Traveling is certainly NOT what it used to be. Especially in Ottawa the Capital city, nothing goes by the security, they must feel very good about them selves when they go home after their shift!

I had a nice relaxing time with the kids, and yes the guest room is every bit as nice as the pictures on Yvonne's blog, if not nicer. I loved being with the girls who have grown so much in the two months especially Anneka.
