Gotta Serve Somebody

I want to post my pictures for everyone to see... if you have a "Facebook" then feel free to access them that way. In time they will appear with lovely stories and faces. I am back in New Jersey - Mom and I drove back together last night, and returned to two friendly cats. Well, one kitten who keeps attacking poor Sandy cat, who is seeming more and more like an old grouch these days. Frankie (the kitten) keeps jumping up onto Sandy who is about triple his size. Sandy hisses and doesn't get any peace. Priceless. At least good for relieving any sort of negativity I'm having at the moment. The drive wasn't too long...We couldn't bear to eat dinner at the nasty fast food places, so somehow we ended up with chips/chocolate and a hot dog each. A healthy alternative!

My year off is really about to "officially" begin. The North Carolinian beach beckons as always as the final climax of summer travels - a full week at the shore's Oak Island with the Rices - promising for good weather, good times. After that I am going to Greensboro, NC, with G&G for flying! I'm super excited, but Leland did note that my driving skills have not been so incredible... another cough... and he made me giggle thinking about amplifying that several thousand feet up in the sky. Old Julie (G'pa's plane) better take good care of yours truly.

Today I saw two good friends in New York City, and thought about returning home to such an urban environment from the Rockies. Still had a fine time! Just missing the real natural world in these cities of marginalized parks and gardens. Tonight I finished a terrible Michelle Pfeiffer movie and watched a Daily Show/Colbert Report with Daddy and Nene. We were all dyyying with laughter. Mom fell asleep with the kitten. I love love love my family.

Hope everyone out there is doing well - can't wait to see L'ville friends the next two days and a cookout with Mr. Silver and the L'ville Biloxi players!
