Luggage Update

I think I posted about my lost luggage (compliments of Northwest Airlines) about a month ago when I came back from Louisiana (March 29). Well, wouldn't you know it there was a knock at my door last Friday and I opened it to find the little blue backpack. I did know it was coming as I received my first and only phone call from Northwest two days earlier saying they thought they found my bag and were sending it.

Well, after waiting 34 days I was excited to have my things. Excited until I looked at the backpack to find it covered in a couple of black grease spots. Upon opening it I found that the 5 books inside all had water damage and one of them had the grease spots with a ripped cover. My shirt smelled of mildew and looked like it may have been dragged through some mud then stuffed in the bottom of the bag. My AE flip flops have some new nicks and pieces taken out of them and my toothpaste may have been stolen (I am not sure if it was in there but it is gone). So I immediately called NWA who told me I had to take my bag to the airport and file a new claim for damaged luggage. I did this Tuesday and if I ever get a response I will let you know.

For now....don't fly NWA. Worst communication/customer service I have ever experienced and I don't think they really care.

Weekend Outing At The House

We took the girls to another residents house this weekend for our outing. They own about 70 acres so we were able to hike through the tick infested woods to a cool little stream/waterfall. The weather was amazing (78 and sunny) and they just so happen to breed golden retrievers! A great outing if you ask me. Well, besides the hiking in the woods and ticks. We nearly lost one girl down the stream/waterfall as she thought it a good idea to treat it like a slide. She made it back and all limbs are attached. The family was also nice enough to get a huge bonfire going so that we could roast hot dogs and smores upon returning from our hike. Most of the pictures have either dogs or Sarah in them since I can't really post the girls.



Midnight the goat - enjoys salt and vinegar lays.

Taking a break - she is laying down in the water here.
Sarah made me take a picture of these flowers

Ingrid Michaelson & Josh Ritter

I forgot my camera so this is the best my phone could do! Last night Sarah, Whitney, and I went to see Ingrid Michaelson and Josh Ritter . The were both very good and it was even better that the sold out show seemed like it had no more than 200 people so that we were about 10 people back from the stage. Ingrid is the little orangish head to the right.
