Goodbye is the hardest word!

All too soon it was the last night of our trip
Greg & Jennifer stopped over & Zoe, Barry & the "short guy" popped round

He's such a character!
We left early saturday morning for the airport.  Barry drove & we made it there in plenty of time.  Nigel is calling Terry as he & Lucy drove up from Canterberry to see us off.  They weren't able to visit while we were there.
I think he's smirking here as he just watched us have to repack our luggage in the middle of checking in.  One of the suitcases went over 50 lbs so I was frantically throwing dirty laundry & such into one of the carry on bags.
We found a coffee shop & had a nice visit with Terry & Lucy before we had to say goodbye
This is part that is no fun but we got through it & headed for security

 Piece of cake compared to Newark when we left & we're thinking no problem when we realize one of our bags didn't come thru. Guess what! It had set off alarms & now they want me to unpack it. I have to pull out my dirty laundry....yes those things! I had thrown a bunch of things from my cosmetic bag along with a jar of Branston pickles. They took it...bahwah...along with my good face cleanser & expensive face cream. I put on my best "Are you serious" act but I got no sympathy. He did say I could put some on before he threw it away. There was a cute Asian girl standing next to me who tried it & then suggested we ate the pickles!
We had an uneventful flight & arrived in Newark on time.  Came out of the airport & it was 75 degs.  Picked up our car & got on the road home.  We were bragging how we would make it back by around 6:00pm, so it wouldn't be really dark, when I got a weather warning on my phone for severe thunderstorms.  We could see it off to the west & when I looked at the radar I knew it was gonna be bad.  We were about an hour away when it hit us & it wasn't pretty.  Between the heavy rain & the wind we had to pull over,  There were sheets of water on the road & it was impossible to see.  We sat in a rest area for about 30 mins & then got back on the road but could still only do about 40mph so it took a while to reach Albany.  The lightening show was unreal!  We stopped at Mark's to get Molly & had a quick bite with them before going on to Kile drive
I think this picture sums up that Molly is happy to be home!

Designer "doggy uggs"

Poor Molly has been having a hard time already this winter with the snow. She has good size pads on her feet which are "webbed" like a lab's foot.  When she goes in the snow it builds up in between her pads & forms a hard piece of almost ice-like snow.  Then she holds her foot up for someone to pull it out.  I decided to make her her own boots. Jessica had spent the night here as we went to First night for new years....more on that later.....so we "googled" how to make dog boots & then modified it to work for Molly.  Keep in mind these were boots you could make in 10 minutes.  It took approx 10 mins to measure Molly's feet.  Two hours later here's the results I did decide to make her 2 for each foot figuring she would be like any typical kid & lose a couple here & there. We had to go to W*lmart in the middle of the project to get velcro to make the fasteners.  We then made her wear them around the house for a while ...

Molly bike riding????

Popster has been teaching Molly to run along side of his bike.  It has been a slow process but she's finally getting it.  They start off very slowly.......  then speed up a little......  which is when she gets crazy& decides to "carry" the leash......  gradually she feels more comfortable....  then she begins to gallop.... & the ears start to flap!!!!!
