Russell is at the OBX with Nett and Mike!

I left OBX around 3:15 today after having lunch with Nett, Mike, Gary, Judy, Cal and Russell at Kill Devils Grill. Lunch was good.

I got back home right around 9PM.

I fell like I have left a part of me back there. It's such a different feeling than when he's at his Dad's house. He is only a 20 minute drive from the house if I need him for anything or if he's sick or something.

Since time usually goes by fast I'm hoping that this week will be no exception and Friday will be here in no time at all. That's when Chris and I will go back down to pick him up and stay through Sunday night, heading back on Monday.

I talked to him tonight and they had been to the beach. Russell had been in the ocean for about an hour. He said he had walked for a mile! They had picked up a few movies and he was watching those. He has looked forward to this visit with Cal, Mike and Nett.

I'm glad I came back today - it'll give me tomorrow to rest before returning to work on Monday. I only have to work for three days. I'll be off Thursday to prep for our trip on Friday to OBX to see Nett and all and pick up Rus! I have an appointment on Thursday to have Maggie clipped. I know she is bound to feel better once all of that fur is gone! We estimate she must be close to 20 years old! She is showing her age but most of the time she bounces around like a puppy.
