So we arrived at the airport at 5:20, circled around and parked in the waiting area. It was 45 minutes before Lew and Lynn had all their baggage and we’re waiting at the curb. We circled around to pick them up and were astonished to see seven large bags stacked up. (I knew we should’ve brought the truck, but Mark didn’t want to have it in the fray of crazy drivers swerving every which way to get to the curb.) I don’t know how, but we managed to get the bags stacked into the Kia which bottomed out several times on the way home! As Mark says, they should have mentioned that they needed us to bring the truck. Ha ha. Anyway, it was great to see them and catch up on all their news from the summer. They had a wonderful time seeing the grandchildren and are very happy to get back to Florida! As they hadn’t eaten yet, we went to Texas Roadhouse for steak dinner. Our kids were not too happy with us as we were gone a long time. But, Rose and Jim came in and let them out back for a potty. We are sure lucky to have such wonderful friends close by. We had brought chilled champagne to welcome Lew & Lynn home, but everyone was too full after dinner to drink it. So, we will get together this week with them.
BeeZee and Robbie sat at the door waiting for us. They are so sweet; made me feel guilty for being gone 5 hours. (Just how did all other my dogs manage when I worked eight hours a day?)
So that was yesterday, now this morning, as I mentioned, Mark is helping Pete. Karen & Pete closed on their house a little over a week ago, had new flooring put in throughout, had the entire interior painted, hosted a GRW weekend camping trip and today hit the road running to get moved in by Monday/Tuesday! Whew. What fortitude. They will be so happy to get settled in! Pete is most looking forward to having their own washer and dryer again. Ha ha. Sometimes it’s the small things that make all the difference. (Pete mentioned they want to take us to dinner tomorrow night, so we will see.) I’d be exhausted on their schedule, and generally have pretty good energy. 😜
Today I am getting the house organized for Thursday’s YaYa’s party. This evening, we are going to RanDawn’s for Brandon Junior‘s 3rd birthday party. It’s going to be chicken wings and pizza for dinner followed by a Publix cake 😋, gifts and fun. Robbie n BeeZee are always invited and do very well with the children.
Charlotte, Brandon and Makenna having fun with balloons! (Just wait 😜)
Randy, Dawn and Makenna
Water balloon accident! It was hilarious ... Randy took the balloon away from Makenna to avoid “a mess.” Hahaha ... he was playing with the water balloon when it burst.
Mary and Brandon (right before he bit the cake! 😂
BeeZee hid from the kids, especially their noisy toys! Robbie was right in the middle of it all.
We had a fun evening ... so nice to be included. ❤️
