On my way
Feel good about the fact that I have made arrangements for what needs to happen at home while I am spending a month with Wes and Deb. Was rainy weekend and I fretted the plane would have to take off in a storm. Not to worry; beautiful day with blue skies and lovely puffy white clouds. Matt arrived in plenty of time. Yvonne had purchased tickets on line, printed my boarding passes and paid for luggage. Still, I was just a bit nervous and chatted to Matt the whole time. Touched down in Charlotte, N.C. and spent a couple of hours touring the airport and getting a bowl of soup before boarding a plane for Gainesville. Arrived at six to find Wes waiting for me; again a happy drive. A warm welcome by Deb really was the frosting on the cake. Out to dinner at the Jones (restaurant) and had a relaxed evening. So glad that Deb chose to take vacation now as we three can enjoy our time to the max.

Wes made chocolate chip pancakes for him and me and blueberry pancakes for Deb for breakfast. With sausage patty and tea was super breakfast.
On my last visit, they introduced me to Savanna and I hoped to go there again this time. I was delighted when they told me that we would leave for Savanna on Sunday and return late Tuesday. What a wonderful Mother’s Day gift!

Wes and I picked up Leila and Malik at their school and returned home. Visited until Deb got home and then the four of us went to a restaurant called the Flying Biscuit in a nearby Mall. Wes says it is a chain but I have not heard of it. Nice evening so we ate at table on the sidewalk. Very good and fun to be with Wes, Deb, Malik and Leila. Afterward we walked to some galleries that were a part of the Art Hop. For those a bit further away, Wes drove us. Enjoyed the art and also meeting some of Wes and Deb’s friends. We ended up at a soft ice cream shop and except Deb got huge cones and ate them on a bench outside. Have not had soft ice cream in years and years! Another different and fun thing to do.
