Beth in North Carolina...

Beth was up and gone by 8am this morning. I took a shower, had breakfast, and began a major cleaning spree. The mudroom was the first room then the kitchen. I talked to Beth around 10am as I was to watch the Rachel Ray show and report back on the bar story they did. I then tried to call at 11:30am but got no answer. I continued try every 20 minutes until I finally reached her around 1:30pm. I was getting a little worried, but just thought the mountains had something to do with the reception. She was just stopping for lunch and getting ready to call me. We think her phone was in the sun and got too hot and shut off. So we set specific times to check in the rest of the trip. The pool guys came to fix the leak in the bromine tank and I did not know they were here until they left. Beth made it to North Carolina around 6pm, so I could stop worrying about her. The reception down there is really crappy, so she has to find the one stop she can call and get reception. I will see Dr. Bill in the morning and then pick up Kyle. We are going to work on cleaning out the garage the next couple of days. Buster is still really sore today with his legs. He could hardly move yesterday, but today is better. He is still getting aspirin every 4 hours and should be good to go tomorrow.
