Great Day With Heather and Joseph

So when you travel a lot due to your job you get used to lots of things being a little "different". Like this morning we woke up in a somewhat familiar place that many of you would consider different unless you travel in a motorhome, a Wal-mart parking lot. What I learned this time is Sunday mornings around 3am are when they vacuum the parking lots... vacuum is not a true picture... imagine a couple of 747 jets... that's closer to the sound. Reminded me of one of my favorite ramblings of the Grinch.. the Noise, noise, noise... :-) Sleeping was close to impossible.

We then met Heather and Joseph for a belated birthday lunch for Heather at Carraba's. After lunch we got to see their new apartment, which we loved and our "grand puppy". They followed us to Jordan Lake State Park where we checked in to stay for a few days. Our spot is great... right on the water... perfect sunsets. Super quiet and peaceful place. Cloe loved the water and would have chased sticks into the lake forever if someone kept throwing them.

Many times Lynn and I have moments where we say to each other that "we're lucky". This afternoon and evening with Heather and Joseph were one of those times. Tomorrow we'll get to see them again, including spending the day with Heather as Joe works. I'm betting it will be another "we're lucky" day. I hope yours is too.

PS. To those of you that got to spend 4 days at Merle Fest, including my doctor and friend Joel, I'm jealous. We're thinking of blocking off next year and just sticking around to hear some great music. Would have loved to have heard Lyall Lovett and The Doobie Brothers.
