Content Kitties and a Trip

Last weekend, after a relatively sleepless week, we got to see Casey and find out how she fared on her trip. We arrived on campus around 2 pm and found out from the crew in front of Robinson hall that there was a bus arriving within 30 minutes. As the bus pulled around the green, we hoped that Casey was on it. Not having talked to her since Tuesday, we were anxious to see her. The bus was met by quite the unique group of people but it was fun to watch. They enjoyed dancing and music before grabbing their packs and heading to the dorms.
It was fun watching these young adults have fun. Casey soon joined us and we were quite happy to see her. The house seems emptier without her jumping down the stairs, but I'm happy to see her with these new experiences.

The weekend was busy with getting her settled into her dorm room and making sure she had everything she needed for awhile. We went out to dinner on Saturday (Applebees) and lunch on Sunday (Liu Liu). I only teared up a little when we left on Sunday because she seemed pretty happy there and I was happy for her. Doesn't mean that I don't miss her, but I am excited to hear of all of her adventures. Notice the quilt on the bed - I made that. Unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity to take a picture of it to add to my book of quilts. Guess I have to wait until it comes home next summer. If I remember, I will take a picture when we see her in 3 weeks for her birthday.

Finally, this morning I took these kitty pictures for Casey. I know she misses her Lucky and I want to assure her that he is doing well. He is getting lots of hugs and kisses which he hates, but also lots of petting.


I didn't take a picture of Kitty this morning because she was already back in bed when I had my camera out. I promise to add more Ireland pictures and continue my travelogue soon.
