Summer Vacation Week #1

I left on Monday for Norfolk but did not arrive until noon on Tuesday. I got caught up in south Chicago traffic for over 2 hours and another hour in Indianapolis traffic, adding almost 4 extra hours to my drive. I decided to stay in Charleston for the night and was so glad I had because the storm that blew in that evening was intense. It made for a very nice drive on Tuesday. I am staying at Jessi's house with Cody, Jessi's husband and Megan, her housemate. Both have to work so I have a lot of time to myself. I've been able to do some gardening, and one project for Jessi (replacing a screen in her porch that her cats ripped up). Cody has a few projects that he's hoping I can help with but he's busy so we haven't as much time to get to them. Megan and Cody took me out to dinner to a very nice place on the water Thursday night which was so sweet! I've been walking to the beach daily and catching up on shows-- very vacation like!
