6 Days, 1020 Miles


We are back home safely after visiting Jacksonville and Tampa. For me the trip had me seeing both our daughters and the remaining living 3 (including me) of my immediate family. This may be the last time me, Kathy and Louie are together for a while. The sad part is our gathering was in part was to have Aunt Pat’s memorial service.

It was a very busy and productive 6 days. We babysat Sophia, delivered goodies to both girls, saw Karen, Tim and Christy, provided food for the memorial service, gave Louie his laptop, got Kathy’s VCR playing properly, visited the Tampa Aquarium, set up a couple of laptops, gave basic PowerPoint lessons, had dinner at Outback, got Kathy some Ben & Jerry’s Everything But The…, provided some clothing for Louie, secured Kathy’s wireless network, made friends with T.J. the Cockatiel, dug Brie out from under beds 3 times and in general enjoyed seeing everyone.

We Once Again Took This Pose

The drive back went smoothly – a little rain – a lot of wind – but no problems. When we arrived at home all was well. The cat feeder worked OK. So far tonight I’ve seen Bianca, Buzz and Meredith. It’s not unusual for Velcro to not show up after we’ve been away. I think he may be charming one of our neighbors into feeding him, too.

Tomorrow Penny goes back to the dentist, Brie goes back to the vet and we see the engaged couple in the evening for the first FOCCUS marriage preparation session – so we will be busy.
