Back in Atlanta (from Jan 2011)

We home. I mean we back in Atlanta, but it feels like home. The temperature was 69F when we landed. Way better than the 42F we left behind in London. Last night I just watched the telly while Hollis went off to tell his girlfriend goodbye. Glad I wasn't there to see that. Anyway she'll be back at Millsaps in April. I don't reckon it'll kill him to be without her that long. 

The flight back was okay. We followed the sun so it was daylight the whole way. Hollis says I ain't as apt to get jet slag coming this way. I can't figure that one out. Our cousins picked us up at the monster airport they got here in Atlanta.  They brung us back to their house and grilled steaks and asparagus on the patio. It was good to get some American food for a change. 

Tomorrow me and Hollis is headed back to God's country. He had brung his jeep over and we riding it back. So glad to be this close to Harper. Thank you, Lord

Tomorrow: Just Sitting Out on the Lake

Getting Ready to Come Home (from Jan 2011)

Today we're fixing to get ready to prepare to come home. I said it like that 'cause Hollis is always making fun of me 'cause I'm always fixing to do something. Anyway we packing our bags. I remembered I ain't bought nothing for Dorothy here in England so I went across the street to that big store and what I seen I thought she might like was this plate with a picture of William and Kate on it. Dorothy almost went nuts when Princess Di and that prince guy got hitched and I knew she would like something about this upcoming wedding. I don't know if y'all know but William is Lady Di's son. They all say he is real nice like his mother was. I seen a little wood box filled with tea bags and got that for her too. 

Hollis was funning me earlier today and said our plane was gonna stop in Egypt. He had me for a minute but I could see in his eyes he was fooling. I seen on the telly (that's what they call TV over here) where Egypt peoples was all out in the street running around and throwing things. We ain't never had no gatherings like than in Harper since the Piggly Wiggly had hog's head cheese on sale last year. Of course our crowd wasn't running and throwing. We heading down to Cat's Wick Airport tomorrow.

Tomorrow: Back in Atlanta
