On the Road

Day two of the drive south began with...SNOW!  This Florida girl most definitely does not remember how to drive in snow so when the weather report stated snow, I packed and ran.  No free breakfast, no shower - just get up and go!  Luckily the snow didn't amount to much - either that or my plan worked and I missed it.  But I did see MANY car accidents along the way.  Seems like further south got some snow over night as the trees flanking the sides of 95 were a bit of a wonderland.  Made the endless holiday tunes dominating the radiowaves appropriate.

Tiny Bit of Snow on the Windshield

Showy Scene
 Later, when the snow had passed - about North Carolina - Rudy graced me with his nuzzling look, but mostly he slept.  Smart guy.

Doggie Boredom

Creature Comfort
 I must say he got very used to the hotel lifestyle.  The bed was an absolute luxury as no doggies on the bed here.  Guess it must be like the survey I heard of last summer where parents let their kids jump on the bed in hotels and NOT in their own homes.  Oh, ownership does some amazing things to us.

Strange Cat
 And I am not sure what this is all about - either one of the pics in fact - above Rudy was acting strange, curled up against the headboard and on my head and eventually slid down and fell asleep.  What that was all about I will never know...

As for Chaz, below - he was rediscovering his old toys and came across these glasses he got from Ryder.  He insisted that they helped him see more clearly, adding, "I think I may need them."  Uh-huh.  He wore them in to his old daycare center to say hello - and also to Chic Fil A.  He had no idea!  What a spectacle he was.

Letter to a Soldier: Handmade Wishes

There's a tree on the town green decorated with handmade wishes.  Charlie is holding the one we selected - it means we are going to send a letter to a soldier.  A letter isn't much but it connects Charlie to the rest of the big, bold world.

Breakfast with Friends

Can anyone say cold?  These were taken before the Falmouth Christmas Parade.  Michelle fed us Quiche and French Toast Casserole.  Mmmm. Coffee.  Fruit.  (And limited amounts of mimosas due to Mass Blue Laws - who knew, not me apparently!)

Can you find the saw or the tee?
