Man, dog & I visited Christmas fair last night.
Several exuberant toddlers launched themselves at dog.
So played my version of step-between pinball--bouncing them away. He is a children magnet.
Also scowled suspiciously at horses, pulling lit wagon.:annoyed:

Lookie! Received fresh nutrolls as gift.
And breakfast in bed appeared.
Awesome!:tup:

That looks lovely and Christmas fair sounds really nice.
I am waiting at Global entry to get the ok for Allison to wait in the special room on her next trip. IMG_1481987052.995380.jpg

Thanks.
Never used global entry.
Last trip, Kiwi & I got talking.
And he said, "Is that all you packed for a month? (1 carry-on) Good effort! Come on through with us & the Aussies. Will save time."
Returning to US, I hand someone a form & walk right on.

But, for young one, maybe less intimidating.
To have fewer forms, crowds, etc.
Good idea.:tup:

Oldest DD and Mom wanted to do it. So here we are.
I haven't flown in a few years. Passport is even expired.
I am one of those people that ALWAYS gets pulled out of line for random checks.
Used to love going to the airport and going somewhere. Not any more.

I love it, Ludmilla.
Today, I remembered that Julie, one of my nieces, once saw my Nat&Nin bag and said she loved it....
Now that I have my Postina I brought it to my brother's place and told him I was giving The Nat&Nin to his daughter. He is seeing her tomorrow and he said she will be delighted.... She is a bag lover like all of us here....:heart::heart:
Here is a pic of Julie's new bag....:smile:

That is very kind of you! [emoji173]️ Do you try to apply the one in one out rule?
Julie will be very happy with her new bag. [emoji4]

So sorry.
Oh, the infamous "regift candle."
It travels the globe, being regifted again & again at Christmas.
And being stored in wardrobes for most of year.
Good news--regift it to him next year.:tup:
If no one pushes him down the new elevator shaft.;)

Love those slippers!!! :loveeyes:

Very kind of you.:tup:
I have been sorting my collection, preparing to donate some, also.
(in hopes Santa brings me more:lol:)

I am going to break the cycle by setting the candle on fire. Hehehe. Hopefully, it burns the ugly notebook, too. [emoji13]

[emoji7][emoji7] Lovely breakfast!
Always scared when little kids get too close to the dog. I am trying to avoid places with many people when I am out and about with the dog.

Does this happen right before the planes takes off?
Hehehe. Obviously, I am no global traveler. [emoji85]

TSA has passengers remove shoes, scan bags, etc. to enter departure gates. Security. Lines can be long.
I check-in 2 hours early. In case of delays.
Also, coming home, must fill in customs forms for items brought back. And stand in more lines.
Murphy will know more about it.
But, for me traveling with almost nothing, I breeze through anyway(except if carrying insect repellent wipes--which could kill us all & must be searched/swabbed intensely:lol:).
