3 Days, 735 Miles

We are back home again after a visit to Jacksonville and High Springs. Babysitting was the primary mission—mission accomplished. Seeing K&T&S&T&T and C&C&F&S was equally important—mission accomplished. Having brother Lou see K&C after 12 years—priceless—mission accomplished.

I’ve been blaming the cloudy weather we’ve been having for the last 2 weeks on Lou. I almost had him convinced. Today we saw the sun in Jax ad High Springs. We drove through some rain on the way home and now it looks as if it will be sunny here for the rest of Louie’s stay. It’s going to be chilly though with lows in the high 30’s Sun and Mon nights. The sunny weather is good. We haven’t taken Lou to the beach yet! I’ve got 2 more days to do that. I’m glad we are going to see the sun. It was fun blaming Lou, however.

We got a lot of Sophie time in on this short trip. This morning at Famous Amos we found out she really likes grits and knows how to communicate that fact quite adequately. Karen couldn’t eat her breakfast because she had to keep spoonfuls of grits coming to Sophie.

Don’t you just hate it when you pass under a butterfly on the highway, feeling some relief that you didn’t spatter it on the windshield, only to see it nosedive onto the pavement in your rearview mirror because of the car’s downwash?

Shortly after arriving home Penny had to go shopping at Belk’s. She had hoped to find something for herself to use a $10 coupon on but she ended up getting something for Sophie.

KITTY UPDATE—All is well in kitty land. The feeder is working and all 5 cats have shown up tonight and appear healthy (and affectionate).
