We had an uneventful easy exactly 14 hour drive to mom's condo. Mom called just as we got into Foley and we told her we would pick her up in 20 minutes for breakfast at Waffle House. We made it there in 19. Breakfast was fast and delicious. Our waitress was horrified at how we northerners ate our grits.
She decided to make a bowl in front of us of how one is supposed to eat grits and then served it to all of us giving each a spoon.
It was okay how she prepared it but we still like it better with maple syrup and cream. We got back to the condo walked over to Island Royale checked out mom's new table counter and chairs then hiked back and rested. In the afternoon we sat around the pool in the Sun at Beth and all of us fell asleep. This evening Beth invited everybody down here over to a fish dinner at their place that was amazing. We enjoyed a feast of all kinds of good fish and side dishes and desserts. Then played games. With no computer I'm not able to post pictures but took a few to post later when we get home. The two Colts we're picked up this morning with just a little problem, the truck and trailer got stuck in the drive Mark was gone, and Spark came over and pulled them up with the skid steer. Karin and Magda helped with the Colts loading them and giving the transporter their papers. The ice storm and snow storm in Peoria hit and Mark reported our driveways are a sheet of ice. No one can make it up or down. I'm glad we're here in the warmth.
