All settled in for the day.  Having my coffee and watching the weather channel and very thankful we are missing all that stormy weather.  I enjoyed the ride to town this morning.  Had the windows down and thinking how wonderfully refreshing.  Now Prissy may have enjoyed a little too much breeze there in the back seat.  When in the car she is hooked to the seat belt through her halter hook. She can still move a little so if it gets too windy she can still curl up on her little towel.  But last night going home she had a little experience.  We were climbing the hill close to the house and as we turned the curve, there in the middle of the road is a little dog.  I put on brakes and I hear Prissy slide off the seat and then start scrambling to get back into the seat.  The reason she slid off the seat was she gets so excited to be getting home.  She knows when we turn that curve we are almost home and she stands up in her seat and starts hassling. So with her standing it did not take much for her to slide off.  I doubt that even phased her.  She will still get excited about going home. I remember a trip with my Dad when I had my other little fluff dog Rhett.  I had been with my Dad after surgery and we had decided to go to my house for him to recover.  That way I coud work and still take care of him.  At that time he lived in Newberry.  So we packed up my Dad, the two rugrats late one evening and headed south.  It was about a  4 1/2 hour drive.  We are zipping along the Turnpike and I had to put on brakes because of some crazy driver. Of course Daddy and I had a few choice things to say.  Then things settled down and we are cruising again and I can hear Rhett whimpering.  I asked Daddy if he could look back and check to see what was going on.  The quick stop had caused Rhett to slide to the floor.  Thank goodness I have always strapped them into the seat belt.  We got Rhett back up in the seat and we were good to go.  Just remember you never know when you are going to have to stop and anything can be a projectile. Keep your seat belts on.....

Went to see little Sis last night.  She looks good but that cast is huge.  They really padded it up for her heel.  It does not come to her knee so she can use her little knee walker with out a bulky cast getting in the way.  That little knee walker is cute. It is like a little scooter.  You can adjust the height and it has a nice pad where you rest your knee.  It is the kind of thing kids would have a ball scooting around on.  I stayed for a little while but then Prissy and I were getting too comfy in the recliner. I decided we better get up and get home before I fell asleep.  Prissy had already gotten comfy layng beside me and was snoozing.

Have a safe and fun weekend.

See you at the shop.

Absolute wonderful read Gail. Gosh, I'm starting to think "book." Your family is so interesting and loving.
Glad you got to spend some time with your sis and she is adjusting well.
