VACATION

I have been gone for 11 days.  And what a wonderful 11 days they were.  I haven’t seen my sister Jeannie in 5 years and I thought it time I paid a visit.  Buddy came with me to meet the family and he did most of the driving.

We left on June 1st and stayed until the 11th.  When we arrived on Wednesday night, Pete had supper all ready.  He made escarole and beans.  Buddy never had it before, and he loved it.  I think we have made an Italian out of this sweet country boy.  We visited for a while then we headed off to bed after such a long drive.

We got up late on Thursday and pretty much stayed close to home.  I did anyway.  Everybody went shopping.  I played with Pete and Jeannie’s new dog, Mikey.  What an adorable dog.  I fell in love with him and so did Buddy.  Mikey and Buddy became best friends.

Because he is not quite trained, he stays in the laundry room when nobody can watch him.

Mikey is such a doll baby!

When everybody came home from shopping we took some pictures out on Jeannie’s deck.  The weather was just beautiful!  It was cool and breezy.  It seemed more like fall than summer.  Summer came on the last 3 days we were there.

Buddy loved being outdoors in such wonderful weather.

Doesn’t my sister look great?

When the men came back from Lowe’s, they were assigned to put the potting soil into the pots.  They did a pretty good job.

I really missed my family.  5 years is too long to go without seeing each other.

On Saturday we went into the city just so I could go to a place I have wanted to go for ages.  I’ll give you a hint and I will continue this blog tomorrow.

Do you know where I went?

Blessings!
