Day one while Mom and Dad are in Africa

August 25 Perrin and I went to see Melody and Mike off at the airport on their way to Nairobi . Poor honeybunny tried to be so brave while he still had mom and dad in his sights but after we drove off, he completely broke down. I had to pull off road and sit in the back with him to hold him and give him kisses to settle him down a bit. Once he remembered how we could blow kisses in the sky to his mom, he settled down a bit so I could drive the road home. But on the way back we hit a huge storm dropping lots of water on the roads. Once again we pulled over for 30 minutes til it calmed down enough to drive, but looking around it sure looked like we had gone thru a war zone with stuff all over highway and lot of standing water. I was glad later we were not on 95 where the water was high enough to close parts of it. Anyways we got home to no power so called Grannette to see if she wanted company to keep honeybunny mind off his mom and dad a little. He decided to spend the night once he talked to mom and was ok that she was safe.

I have been up and down all night checking the flight plan to see how their ride was. Right now they are in Amsterdam safely getting ready to fly to safari in Nairobi . Thinking of them while I stare at the wild raccoon in our yard this night. Peace out !  Pics are of Mike and Mel on the plane and up in the clouds on the airbus Mike posted during their flights just before Amsterdam.
