Wednesday, August 24th.

We arrived safely in the Ottawa airport.  I love airports.  They are so noisy and busy.  Rosebud is overjoyed to be here and insists on carrying all of her luggage.  I think her joy is being freed from spending 5 or 6 hours in an 18 inch space.  It makes you be grateful for being able to move about freely.

So I have decided that if I have to ever choose between a good night's sleep and a good breakfast, I will always choose a good night's sleep.  This morning I had a good breakfast.

I just took my Alice to her flight to Florida.  Where there are hurricane warnings, snakes and spiders.  I'm sure she'll be fine.  We got a lecture about beef jerky at the airport.  We will never, ever, ever pack beef jerky on an international flight again.  Believe me, I'm convinced.

We love you!  We'll miss you, cutie pie.
