The Fun Begins

We arrived yesterday late morning at Pat and Jill's. Brooke and Nick had driven through the night and beaten us by about five hours. Preparations are being made for the graduation party on Saturday so we spent the afternoon hosing off the patio and planting the flower pots.

Brooke and I trekked to a nearby landscaping place and loaded the cart with plants and potting soil. We tried to leave but got pulled in to the ice cream place next door. What could we do? A little sustenance is always necessary when you are doing heavy yard work. You don't want to get dehydrated.

Jessi, the graduate had come home from her last day of school about noon only to take off again for work, and after that a graduation party. But she joined us for supper and the evening. It is such a joy to watch Brooke and Jessi together. Separated by twelve years and hundreds of miles most of their lives, they are remarkably similar in so many ways and have a wonderful bond of sisterhood.

Brooke presented her sister with a bag of goodies, many of them made of University of Alabama fabric by Brooke: the bag itself, bowl cozies that go in the microwave and do double duty as hot pads, key rings, etc. Jack created a plane for his sister, covered with symbols for the important things in life.

The rest of the family is enroute and should be here midday. Jessi has graduation practice this morning and I think we have some errands to run. A pedicure this morning would be a big plus for me. As the pace heats up, Midnight, the 15-year-old Border Collie observes it all quietly, knowing humans are crazy, and Hawkeye, the cat, lives her own Walter Mitty existence, disdaining what is going on around her.
