The Arkansas Traveller is Off Again

After a nice weekend with Pete home, the three of us had to send him off again this morning to South Carolina for a customer visit. He was somewhat excited, until the weather report called for 24 degrees there today. We're getting soft down here in Arkansas. Gracie and I will flip on the fireplace at the slightest wisp of a draft, except for Jack. He is hot natured and keeps turning on the ceiling fans. Anyway, please pray for safe travel for my Petie. It is back to Mommy's bed for another slumber party tonight. Gracie takes Pete's spot with Daisy tucked under her, Jack takes the middle, and I am in my usual spot. Jack is a very active sleeper, so Gracie and I always make him promise to sleep 'like a gentleman.' Guaranteed, he will ask us first thing tomorrow morning "did I kick ya'll last night?" with a little smirk on his face. We are getting quite good at our 'when daddy's gone" and "when daddy's here' routines. And Jack loves to play his "I am the man of the house while Daddy's gone" card any chance he can get. We just laugh at him when he thinks he can use that to eat cereal in the living room, or not brush his teeth before bed time. Nice try...

Pasta for dinner...D
