After Isaac passed we headed over to Jacksonville on Friday to celebrate Lucy’s 3rd birthday. We took the trailer on this trip so we could bring Penny’s armoire back home. It has been with C&C but now they don’t need it around to have to move.
Saturday began with breakfast made by Tim. It included egg substitute and turkey bacon just for us. K&T had haircut appointments so Penny and I watched Lucy and Sophie. It was agony. We had to endure a trip to the beach and then lunch at Chili’s. Look at these pictures . Does this look like something you would want to do?

On Sunday C&C came up for Lucy’s birthday-done to the theme of the hungry, hungry caterpillar. Karen made a caterpillar from balloons and Penny added the butterfly balloon.
The party was just family and it was fun. We got Lucy some Thomas trains and she and Sophie had a lot of fun with them.
(note the hungry caterpillar dress Penny made!)
She also got roller skates
and a trip to the Gainesville butterfly rainforest.
We all visited the beach again – this time in our bathing suits – so we got a little wetter.
Monday we headed home again after going out to breakfast. We went through High Springs to have lunch with C&C and to load the armoire onto the trailer and hook it up to the CRV again.
The drive home from High Springs wasn’t bad. We hit a few patches of rain but nothing serious. It did rain all day Tuesday and half of Wednesday but I finally got the lawn mowed in the evening.
A week ago (Thursday) we were watching Isaac rain on Mississippi and Louisiana. Today his remnants pushed back through and out into the Gulf. We may see more weather from that storm yet.
