Dad said, "Looks like he's in a parachute!" Cam flapped his arms, just like a real airplane.
I had arrived at the house at 7 a.m., after a 3 hour drive, to find three of the kids and half of their parents up & dressed. Two dogs overwhelmed me at the door, bird got transferred to my shoulder, then Grandma Airplane, bird & 2 dogs got the honors: "Hey Cam, wake up!"
Kelly was drawing stick figures, Ralph was engrossed in his cell phone, Samantha was munching on a bagel. (I didn't get her photo this morning, so I had to retrieve one from this summer. This is SammieJ's typical activity).
Samantha walked off to catch her bus, Ralph was delivered by one parent, Kelly by the other one, I drove Cam to his school. Four different schools this year. Chaos.
After all that, I stopped in Osage Beach to see my pal Val, and mended her downspout. Now her elegant home has that redneck touch. (It's temporary, don't panic. If she gets some white duct tape and covers up the silver, it won't look so bad.) During that soaker rain last week, the downspout came apart and somehow unloaded all the rain off the roof into her basement rooms. So carpet and furniture were all in disarray with huge fans drying everything out.
She's still a little gimpy from a broken hip, from July when Jasper Cat knocked her off her feet; has a cane, but doesn't need it all the time. We had coffee and solved all the world's problems.
Our excavation Cats were busy at the airport this morning, clearing more trees and brush. This is the west end, runway 08.
