As we left the hotel this morning, Lucy braved the elevator like a pro…ferociously standing behind her mommy, hiding. That was better than yesterday, so I won’t complain. (If you don’t know that story, read yesterday’s post.)
The ride was fairly uneventful today, and I really don’t have much to tell. The temperature variance between states was the most dramatic thing for today. Alabama was a nice temperature. Tennessee was a little cooler but still comfortable. Kentucky was the end of my flip-flop wearing for today. Indiana was freezing, and Michigan had me shivering so hard I could barely form words at times. I now have a coat, gloves and something to cover my ears so I’m in pretty good shape…at least I will be when I figure out where I packed my socks.
I must say I am very happy that drive is over for many reasons, the most important of which are Lucy and Romeo. Nearly 1,100 miles with my two pets is kind of like a trip with two toddlers who are very jealous for mom’s attention. Romeo insisted on riding on my lap again today – all day. Lucy still can’t understand why she can’t do the same.
A couple of hours into the drive this morning, Romeo was reclined on my left leg facing the door while I was driving. Lucy and I thought he was asleep. She gently laid her head down on my right leg. After a couple of seconds, Romeo looked behind him and saw Lucy’s nose close to him. He turned around with that look in his eye that cats get when they are getting ready to explain the rules to someone. As he stretched out his paw reaching across my right leg with his claws extended, his single meow sounded more like “mine.” I’m not kidding. It really did sound like that. Lucy barely jerked her nose to safety in time. She kept her head off my lap for the rest of the trip. Poor thing.
Well, I know that wasn’t a very exciting read for you, but that’s my day. Now those of you who have asked me for updates on my trip know how much my fur babies love each other.
Thank you for your prayers and encouragement. God bless!
