Great Florida Visit

We had a great visit with Mom and Dad!! We unloaded our truck early Wednesday morning and headed to Lakeland. We got there a little after nine in the morning. It was wonderful seeing Mom and Dad and Brody got really excited when he saw Zeke! Zeke was happy to be out of the truck and recognized Grandma and Grandpa's house and promptly ran laps through the house with Brody trying to keep up! Sosa also loved seeing Grandma and Grandpa and got along with Brody even better this visit than last.

After a cold beverage (it had to be noon somewhere) Dana headed in for some much needed sleep and Mom and I hit the pool. It had rained the day before so the water was nice and cool. Mom and Dad's friends are all really nice and it was fun talking to them.

When we went back to the house, I put Dad's OSU skin on his pink phone. LOL Later I helped Mom get a photo on her profile for Facebook...it's a really good picture. We had some more pool time while our laundry was in and then opened a bottle of wine. It wasn't too bad, just a little dry for me but Mom liked it . Then we headed to Smoky Bones for dinner. It was DELICIOUS.

After dinner Mom and I convinced Dad to stop at the dollar store so we could shop (that's all we could afford...hee hee) and then headed home. I was then so tired I was in bed at 9!

Panther called us at 8:30 this morning with a load offer. It was picking up at Patrick AFB near Cape Canaveral at 4 in the afternoon and going to Alabama, so we accepted. We headed back to the pool one more time before lunch and then loaded up and left. Dana was completely out of drive hours when we got in yesterday so we had to sit for 24 hours and where better than our parents' house?

So, here we are, on the road again...heading north. We need to be near Nashville by Tuesday for some truck maintenance and then we're going home to move Alex back to Athens. THEN on Sunday we are driving to Lake Milton to visit my favorite aunt and uncles. Then we'll hit the road again.

No pictures this time...the visit was too short. Hopefully we'll be back soon...who knows when......

Miss you already, Mom and Dad!!!
