Took an insanely early flight to Florida this morning. Ugh!
But by doing so, I am home by noon.
As always, I had my window seat on the flight from Atlanta to Fort Myers. As I have said many times, I live for the final decent into RSW. The site of “my islands” brings such peace into my life.

Mom and I went over our lists of stuff to pack for our cruise to the Bahamas. We will be leaving mid-morning tomorrow.
In the late afternoon, we prepped for dinner. Uncle Hugh, Aunt Mary and “cousin” Harry were coming over. They were doing a test visit for Harry – next week he will be moving in with mom and dad for a month while Uncle Hugh and Aunty Mary go on vacation thru Europe.
Well, Harry managed to provide the entertainment for the rest of the evening. The second Aunt Mary put him down in the foyer, he bolted! Unfortunately, the front door was still open.
He ran into the yard next door and eventually into a heavily wooded lot. We spent the next hour calling him and spotting him. However, since the lot was so overgrown, we couldn’t walk thru it. We gave up for a while, but I couldn’t stand it. So I put on jeans and real shoes and set back out. Again, numerous spottings, but never able to get close enough.
Eventually, they talked me into coming inside to cool down and I did. After random checks, it was determined he was again in the neighbors yard. And eventually in ours. It was now dark. We chased him around our backyard and finally cornered him!
This ordeal had gone about for about 4 hours.
Looks so sweet and innocent here doesn’t he?!
