Went to Calgary to get Anne yesterday. She was the last person to come out of customs and she came out without her luggage. It wasn't lost, though, everyone knew where it was. It was on the way to Vancouver. It seems that the luggage handlers took some Vancouver bound luggage out of the plane, realized their mistake, put it back and were just going to take out the rest of the Calgary luggage, when an executive from GlobeSpan who was on the plane told the pilot to just leave because he wanted to get to Vancouver. So off they went with some travellers' luggage. GlobeSpan then informed all the people without their bags that they would have to pick them up at the airport and no, GS would not pay to deliver it to anyone's home.
So Anne had a high school reunion to go to, and nothing to wear except what she had on. However, we stopped at Winners in Red Deer and found a dress and bought underwear.
The luggage came today, but we had to pay for it. Geoff has fired off some e-mails so we will see if we can get our delivery money back.
But it is great to see Anne, and we had fun shopping. Much better than when she and I were younger.
Went to Lou Soppit's 80th birthday party today! 80! He acts like he is 40. I have never seen anyone with so much energy.
Finally got out into the yard today. It didn't actually rain until after supper. Got the bedding plants planted. They have been sitting on the deck for 3 weeks waiting for their pots.
I gently mentioned once that Geoff doesn't really need his whole greenhouse and half of that space would make a nice summer sitting area. After some thought, he decided to take half down. Today he said, "I hate me," as he was trying to pull out all the extra nails he always puts in things he builds.

I have never heard of globespan, are you sure it's a real airline?
This post made me laugh!
I'll send a letter to Globespan too.
When I got my mastercard statement, I thought that First Great West trains had overcharged me for tickets. They refunded me $300, but after this, I looked at my statement and think that actually they didn't, oops. But given the hassle to get tickets from them, I don't feel bad as it was the tickets we had to go to Truro to get.
Point of my story: aggravate enough people with correspondence and they cow under pressure.
The squeaky wheel gets the grease! Words to live by, if you ask me. Welcome back to Canada Annie- can't wait to see you.
Thanks! As I got a new dress out of the deal, I'm less upset than I might have been.... it was fun writing the nasty emails with dad, though.
A real Ferrey Father's day experience. I'll never forget helping Dad write a letter to the beer company about something- Dad was shooting for a free sixpack. I don't remember if he got it, but we had fun writing the e-mail.
