A fitful night’s sleep was enjoyed in our “sticks and bricks” house, waking up Monday morning to fast internet and a lake view. A quick trip to the RV storage bay was made to collect as many items as I could carry, particularly golf clubs and accoutrements and photographic and computer gear. I played pickleball in the morning at Diamante and golf with my old group at Magellan. And, the golf score wasn’t too bad considering it’s been almost a year since I’ve played 18 holes on a “big” course. It’s so good to be home!

I played pickleball again on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, while Kay attended to her social clubs and functions and personal care appointments. We were honored to host Kay’s sister, Nan, and brother-in-law George briefly Thursday afternoon and evening. It’s always good to see them and recollect memories. They left early Friday morning, even before we awoke, driving to Cincinnati and then Virginia.

We continued to unpack, wash clothes, and organize things over the course of the weekend. Saturday, though, was for watching Ridge play basketball with his AAU team. He is a really good, actually great, basketball player. He played soccer in the morning followed by two basketball games in the afternoon. He was exhausted! After getting our grandkids fix with the younger central Arkansas grandkids, we enjoyed a quiet evening and Sunday.
