T minus 1hr; good-bye Chase!

At the airport; just ate some grilled food; boarding is in 30min.  We got through security just fine - I went through the x-ray for the first time and I didn't like it!
Talked to Aunt Nancy on the phone last night and it sounds like everything is in order for our arrival.  She claims that half the neighborhood will be with her to greet us at the airport.  We can't wait!!!

Thanks to the GENEROSITY of family, friends, and co-workers, we'll be able to hand over $1500 to Nancy to put into the program.  I am thrilled to be able to be the transporter of such a gift!  I hear that there will be a big meal for the 123 children in the program on Mar 4th, which was made possible by the anonymous donation of a goat to head Mama Mkubwa.  Jeff and I will be able to attend and meet everyone.

We took Chase up to a kennel in Stanwood - it was a long drive but worth it, as this place was recommended by the breeder from whom Jeff bought Chase.  We miss him already!!!  But I think he's going to have a blast up there - the area is covered in snow, which always enchants him.
