Travel Day

 Packing and leaving from Megan's for our trip to Maine totally confused Fenway.  He starts crying and jumping at the door as soon as the coolers and duffles appear.  It is easier to harness and leash him and let him settle in the vehicle.  He stops crying but remains vigilant that Paul will be driving.

Today proved a bit more difficult because Annie kept trying to join Fenway in the car and could not be coerced back into the house.  Eventually we were able to distract her but she still gave us the saddest eyes!  She did not understand that Megan and the girls would be home in a few hours.  I also think she forgets what a pill Fenway can be, especially with his incessant barking at the slightest outside noise.

Meanwhile Tallulah snuck into the house while we were loading the car.  Silly cat forgets she is a "barn" cat.

Fenway had the best seat in the car.  A recliner!  All the way from Daytona, this recliner will be replacing the gold one from Aunty Doris that despite still functioning has faded and grown into a dust hoarder after 50+ years!  

No traffic but intermittent rain with dark clouds followed with sporadic sun.  I enjoyed every minute of the ride.

With good, dry weather predicted for the next few days we will be concentrating on the outside tasks. For the remainder of today - relax like we are retired! 

The kids did a great job taking care of the house - no complaints here.  Although mysteriously I have a new mat in the bathroom and a bear!
