Last day of August 2005 1-888-407-4747

Hello Readers,
Well what do you know!?
We have been planning our little family gathering for the holiday weekend-and of course the very first trip to Detroit Metro airport is cancelled-
after 11 hours of 'panic mode' and 4 hours of sleep:
SMW called to say - her stolen passport was immediately replaced at the consulate in Rio- with a temporary- good for one year...she and her host family returned to the airport ( miles away) at midnight to pick up the 2 suitcases full of gifts that had been on it's way to the USA without her. She flew to Rio at 6 am this morning-
The passport was stolen minutes before she was to board her flight for Miami.
Oh dear oh dear- this morning we called our congressperson:
if you are ever in a similar situation- 1-888-407-4747 for help- & info
Overseas Citizen Services.
ok- now I need to get to the grocery store-
the rest of the story...will entertain family this weekend........
whew.....
