This morning we all got up early to see Anthony, Lori, and Austin off at 5:45. I didn't take any pictures, because I didn't want to get Austin wide awake. But trust me, he was as adorable as ever when he opened his eyes and looked at all us of watching him. Later today Lisa walked into the spare bedroom where they had slept, and she said, "Ohhh, this room smells like Austin!"
Sophie and I had fun together this morning before Lisa took her to summer camp at her school. We took pictures of each other. This is what she looked like - all ready to go and beautiful, as usual.
Here's what her sleepy memaw looked like in her night shirt, ha, ha, ha!!
Dick and George went golfing this morning with George's stepdad. I have no idea how Dick stood it out in the heat - just amazing what a person can stand for the sake of golf!!
At noon Lisa and I went to pick up Sophie, and I got to see her school (Carrollwood Day School) and to meet some of the teachers and the administrator. Lisa has done lots of volunteering and subbing at the school this year. It was fun to have the administrator say to me, "We just LOVE your girls."
From there we went out for lunch, but I can't remember the name of the place. While we waited for our food to arrive I played the "dot game" with Sophie. When Lisa saw what we were doing, she said, "Oh that game got me through many a church service!" Me too!!
Soon after we all got home, we packed up and left for the airport. Several times in the past few days Sophie said to me, "I wish you could stay here forever." I have so enjoyed spending time with her. She has the most amazing vocabulary, a really sweet spirit, a great sense of humor, and a wonderful imagination. I just love her so much.
Our trip home was uneventful. I read most of the way home - the 3rd book of The Yada Yada Prayer Group series. I can hardly put it down. Dick had bought a book about 9/11 (102 Minutes that Changed America) at Barnes and Noble the other day, so he was reading a lot today too, except when he was driving home from Baltimore airport.
I'm sleepy and I'm going to go try out my good bed.

Glad you are safely home! That Sophie is such a beautiful kid!
I am glad that you and Dick made it safely home! A lady at church told me that Air Tran has a flight to Orlando one way for $59. She goes to Florida to see her grandchildren every two weeks!!!!! I wonder if they fly to Virginia Beach!
You're a "Memaw" too. That's what my grandson calls his other grandmother - I'm Nana. I had never heard that term for Grandma before. When are you guys moving to State College?
