Tuesday was a day for goodbyes! Jim was scheduled to return to "Itly", leaving Tuesday about noon. FedEx showed up with his Visa at 7:30 A.M., so all was well. He knew it was coming, but until it did, I'm thinking it could have been a little unnerving. Alan was in Atlanta Monday and Tuesday, so he and Jim said their goodbyes on Sunday (not near as emotional as my goodbye Tuesday at the airport - Jim had to suffer through my boohooing which I tried to prevent, but just not gonna happen that way!) Hope your trip was uneventful and you can "find your groove" (not sure what that actually might mean, but I just mean for you "to settle in to whatever works for you")!
Alex left this morning for his assignment at Port Folk (okay - really it's Fort Polk, but someone has trouble saying that...) His family gathered last night for pizza and goodbyes, so I got a few more hugs out of that one, and didn't embarrass myself with boohoos - love you, though, Alex! Laura said he is in Arkansas tonight, as he planned, and will arrive in Louisiana tomorrow, giving himself a few days to unload his U-Haul and settle in to his apartment. Here's hoping it will be better than he is expecting!
Laura informed me that sometime during the night Alex's Dad had to be taken to the Emergency Room. It seems that the blackberries I took to their house last night to share (fresh-picked from my neighbor's garden that morning) caused an allergic reaction. He knows he is allergic to some fruits and other foods, but now he knows he is also allergic to blackberries. Maybe I'm a little embarrassed, but surely didn't mean for THAT to happen!

You'll look back at the blackberry incident some day and laugh. I hope eveyone had good or uneventful travels. Sorry we couldn't do a pre-family get together, family get-together and post-family get-together while Jim was here. However, while I love everyone, I'm ready to have some time with nothing to do.
