You see, he recalls my first trip home at Christmas from the University where we met. He tried ever so manfully to hoist my over-weight-limit suitcase and not appear weak. Years later he still gives me flap over that. As a matter of a fact, he and my bro-in-law, who had to tote it on the other end of the line, have razzed me about it numerous times. <BR/><BR/>I did pack and close the case myself, however. :-)<BR/>TMorneryswifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13702378853361498700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20249225.post-81812729089039557892007-12-14T15:34:00.000+11:002007-12-14T15:34:00.000+11:00What a terrific tale.

Just kidding!<BR/><BR/>Being an m-i-l myself, I understand a leetle bit of this, but having travelled back and forth to Boston 12 times in the last 3 years to visit my grandbaby while my daughter was in law school, I have had to, sometimes, without the S-I-L, heave my suitcase UP three flights of stairs - you know, those cute walk-ups they rent to students in Cambridge, Mass. for a thousand pounds sterling...<BR/><BR/>Still, I could have used an s-i-l like you on occasion! I am sure your m-i-l loves you forever! Fortunately, my dear daughter was almost always there to pick me up at the airport, and never allowed me to carry my case, which, sometimes, did weigh a little bit, by the time I had stuffed it with fun things for my granddaughter! <BR/><BR/>But never 90 lbs, except the time Neil persuaded me to take an extra case (hardsided Samsonite) with a computer tower in it for the s-i-l to fix and/or keep. I said I was not bringing it back, and needless to say, Neil threw his back out, bigtime, when he hauled it in and out of the car at the start of the journey! I had some wonderfully gallant gentlemen help me get it on the scale at both ends of the trip (I took a shuttle to Seattle so Neil was spared - but it WAS his idea! I never forgave him, he was off his feed for six months and guess who was Mr. Mom this time!)<BR/><BR/>Speaking of overweight luggage...<BR/><BR/>Carol McFarlaneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20249225.post-65641212862908948672007-12-13T06:19:00.000+11:002007-12-13T06:19:00.000+11:00I swear, I thought you'd snapped a picture of my m...I swear, I thought you'd snapped a picture of my mama's suitcase from our return trip from Europe in October.
