Can you believe what a space cadet I am? I was yakking with Shannon while waiting to board our connecting flight home from London in Detroit and left my purse on the chair at the gate! After boarding the plane I realized I left my purse but it was too late to get off the plane. They had already shut the door to the airplane. But I did get to go up into the cockpit and kneel on the floor between the pilot and co-pilot to point out where I was sitting in the terminal while they radioed someone to look for my purse. No luck! No purse! So ... it was a sickening flight home thinking about my passport, DL, debit card, credit cards, company credit card, check book, new camera, glasses, and temple recommend.
I spent 8 1/2 hours on Monday cancelling everything and renewing everything. I think I've got it all taken care of. What a hassle. I just wanted to curl up in a ball in my bed and cover my head with the covers and forget about everything. Thank heavens no one had tried using my credit cards. But the purse still hasn't shown up in their Lost and Found and no one has sent me my purse. So ... farwell to my purse. It was an expensive purse that Lynn had bought me at Costco. I looooved it!
I feel much better now that I have some of my identity back. Hopefully my passport will arrive in time for my trip to London, England! Can't wait.
Oh ... I would have posted the cutest pictures of us in London, Ontario ... but my camera is in my missing purse! BOOOOO! And it was so good to renew acquaintances with my good demonstrator friends in Canada and making new friends too. I love them!
BOOOO! I left my purse in the Detroit airport!!!!
Well ... I'm just an ordinary granny with 28 beautiful grandkids, 7 fabulous children, and 1 fantastic husband!
My fantastic husband and I met while both serving missions for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints, in the Gulf States Mission. This mission included Mississippi, Louisiana, part of Tennessee, and most of Arkansas. While in the mission field we were committed to the service of the Lord and of course no dating was involved. But two dates after our missions we were engaged and married two months later. Life has been wonderful with my Lynn!
While raising our 7 children I helped supplement our income by teaching vocal lessons, babysitting, and doing hair, all in the comfort of my home.
I'm currently employed at World Joy, a nonprofit organization improving health and education in the Atiwa District of Ghana, Africa.
Now, we have been called to serve as full time Public Affair Specialists for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in the Africa South East Area, living in Johannesburg, South Africa for 23 months. We are beyond excited since we will have each other as full-time companions 24/7.
It REALLY is a wonderful life!

Booooo!
That really stinks!! I think that I would have cried, especially about the camera. I hope that it still turns up, you never know!
The camera was sad for me too b/c I didn't take any pictures and had plans to use yours. :( But onward and upward...I finished my book last night and just blogged about it. I'll bring it to you on Tuesday and I CAN'T WAIT for you to read it so we can talk and laugh and cry about it!!! (sniff sniff)
