Punkin has done pretty well here. In the photo you see her trying to talk me into playing with her favorite stick toy. It has little leather strips on the end - doesn't fall apart like feathers, and has a little weight to it, so all the cats like it.
Punkin's glucose levels have been a little higher than we really like to see, but overall she's done well. She's been active, playing for fairly long periods, interested in watching birds and chipmunks in the back yard and in chasing spiders who make the unfortunate choice of coming into the house. Just garden spiders - their bite would probably hurt a little, but not be dangerous.
We're headed back to Colorado today. Dad's coming with us. We're planning a very easy trip - eight days to handle what I took four to do coming out here. We'll stop more often than I did for Dad to walk around so his leg doesn't get stiff. I'm only planning to cover about 300 miles a day on average. That still gives us an extra day to visit people along the way and to explore a little. Today is actually only about 70 miles - to Greensboro to visit some of Dad's people.
I've adapted well, finally, to Raleigh. Learned my way around a little, gotten used to not being able to see anything but trees when driving. There's always something in bloom this time of year, and it usually smells wonderful.
But I'm glad to be going home, especially since Dad's coming, too. It's going to be hard to let him leave, but I'll also understand his wanting to come home a little more, having recently experienced it myself. When I get back, I will have been gone almost 2 months.
The car is almost packed, and the camera is handy, and we'll be stopping a lot, so hopefully I'll get some good pictures along the way. Please pray for good weather for us!
