Walkabout
Watched the Belle of Louisville return from a cruise yesterday afternoon, and did tear up a little bit. For years, Mom had wanted to go on a Belle cruise, and I convinced or bullied or whatever Dad to finally do it for her birthday in '17. We didn't know how bad her heart was then, the bypass being still a year away, but we didn't know if we had much time left with her. So, we went, and it was a beautiful day, and Mom was so happy.
Dad's staying busy. His honor guard group is at a funeral today, couple of examinations this week, and the home county's big fair is this coming weekend, so the charity group he's part of will keep him going.
Sometime in October, we're going to go to Abilene, then up to Colorado and back through Iowa. Mom&Dad met in Abilene, her last living brother is in Colorado and facing bladder cancer, and my best friend is in Iowa and I'm overdue seeing him. The two of us, maybe my niece, and 95 pounds of red Doberman. This'll be an adventure.
Working a lot of second shift for my last two weeks at the McJob - six of the final nine days. I'd rather cover third, but that's not in the cards. Enh, whatever. At 4PM September 30, I'm done and can spend some time on myself.
