K is the letter of the week.Keen Kinetic Key
Granny Smith rides againon the streets of Port Townsend!
Southwest Airlines has added even another Keen Kinetic Key to my independence. When I fly to and from Berkeley and Port Townsend I drive my happiness vehicle straight through Oakland airport or SeaTac right to the door of the plane where a flight attendant helps me to a seat while my wheelchair is whisked away to be loaded as cargo. At the end of the flight the process will reverse itself and my wheelchair will soon appear at the door of the plane. (This is my completely voluntary and guaranteed non-paid tribute to an airline that not only carries my wheelchair at no extra charge but also doesn't charge anyone for the normal number of checked bags unless the bags are overweight.)

Great mobility. Good on you.
It's comforting to know that, should we need the use of these products and services, they are available.
Thats wonderful. I'm so glad to see you back posting again.
Our independence is so important. Good for you and Kudos to SouthWest airlines. they are great.
I LOVE it! What an inspiration and example! Too many people use all kinds of excuses-many like to use age as an excuse. You are a rock n' roller, for sure!
That is absolutely wonderful for you!! Woohoo!
I hope you have a wonderful Easter!
What a wonderful advantage you have! And kudos to SW Airlines for being so accommodating. You sound like you have a great perspective on life.
SO good to see you and love that you're mobile!! XOX
You go, Granny Smith!
Mobility and lots of cruising fun too. The best K (even a triple) of the meme.
I was wheelchair bound for a time after my stroke and I know the tremendous sense of freedom that returned to me when I was issued with an electric wheelchair. Like you say, the company and help is greatly appreciated but sometimes a girl just likes to wander on her own. I'm so happy for you. Got wheels, will travel. :)
What a lovely site this is. Have a wonderful weekend.
Good to read that some commercial enterprises have a human face. Independence is so important - more power to your elbow!
I like your words and the picture. Thanks Granny for visiting me I do appreciate it.

Fantastic! You are a brave and independant lady! You can enjoy spring, riding in your Keen Kenetic new electric wheelchair! And spring is what we need after this long cold winter.
That's wonderful! We've been trying to persuade my mother to have one of these things but she's afraid to try. Such a shame when it can add so much to your independence!
I'm determined that, should the day come when I can no longer walk, I will have one, and with racing stripes, too! OH and I plan to have races! ;)
Good for Southwestern Airlines! We've flown with them and found them excellent, too!
Southwest is definitely the way to go. I just got a $39 fare from Sacto to Portland. I think it's wonderful you can live a quality filled life! Thanks for commenting on my "k" too!
Wonderful! It is nice to read of good service!

What a wonderful entry of yours and what a kind company indeed worth to be taken as a role model for many others.
Please have a nice Thursday.
Lucas stil loves this picture of you on your profile!
Kudos for your new independent time!! You're so right, nothing better than to be able to go around by yourself! You're awesome! :o)
Kisses from Nydia.
You go Granny Andreti! What an inspiration!
Unbelievable, I'm 63 and when I grow up I want to be just like you..

Freedom. This is WAY kool!
On behalf of the ABC Wednesday team, thank you!
That's a great tribute to the airline. Nice to hear money doesn't drive all of them.
My Dad had a mobility scooter. My poor stepmam used to have to run to keep up with him!
