Tuesdays With Tag - New Year, New Me...

 

Hi, Everybody!

Happy New Year 2023

Hard to believe it's time to change the calendar again. Mom figures it will be February or March before she stops writin' 2022. Do you have that trouble, too?

It was a busy weekend around here. There was a little celebratin', but there was mostly doin' laundry, packin', and plannin' routes. In the end, everythin' was in its place in the back of Dad's truck by Sunday night, so the only thing he had to pack yesterday mornin' was Carly's crate and his overnight bag.

 

Dad and The Princess of Everythin' were on their way by 9 am (8:57 to be exact), which was exactly the plan. Seein' as how it's about 1500 miles to Bradenton, he wanted to get a good start. He called Mom durin' the day, and he finally stopped just a short distance from Paducah, Kentucky. Mom could finally rest for the day, knowin' he'd made it safely that far.

She'd seen on the weather reports that bad weather is comin' our way, with thunder storms between Texas/Louisiana and all the way up to Nashville, so she gave him a heads up. He drove further than he'd originally planned, and should be okay by the time he gets back on the road this mornin'. 

So, thanks everybody for all the safe travel prayers and wishes. It's workin'! I'm sure Mom will keep you posted the rest of his trip, but I wanted to say somethin' today. Carly is gonna be gone with Dad for about four months. You know what that means, right? I'm here with Mom and Bella. Wish me luck!

 

I'll see you again in seven. 'til then...

January 1, 2023 Photographs...

 

 

The weather was beautiful yesterday, so I didn't want to miss the opportunity to take a group photo of us to celebrate the new year. I have a new setup with a remote to trigger my camera shutter, but I didn't realize that holding something in my hand would make the dogs think I was holding treats. Hence, two of three focused on my hand. sigh At least Handsome and I (and Carly!) were looking at the lens.

  

 

 

We were taking a break from packing Handsome and Carly's supplies for their trip to Florida, and I asked them to pose one more time for me, so I'd have a photo of the road warriors. They will likely be on the road by the time you read this.

 

Tag, Bella, Claudette, Crystal and I will be holding down the farmhouse in his absence, and we'll get daily reports on travel progress, followed by updates on rehearsals, concerts, and all things Florida. I laugh when we're in the truck and he complains about one slow driver on a local road or highway. Boy, will he ever have culture shock once he gets back to "tourist season" in full swing in the Sunshine State!  

He's got 1500 miles of driving ahead of him over the next three days, so I'd really appreciate prayers, crossed fingers, good wishes, or however you ask for protection for my beloved husband and our silly Labrador. I'll hold my breath until I know he's safely reached his destination. 

 

I'll be in the studio today. I have some major rearranging in mind, and it's the best way for me to pass the time while I wait. Tag will be back tomorrow and I'll see you again on Wednesday with his road report. For now, I'm off to grab my morning cuppa.
