On time for Easter dinner. . .

Becky and Al's back yard was too warm and sunny for afternoon activity.
A cooling breeze kept the house perfect.
She's from the
"Show Me" State.
A new bar of Irish Spring and hot shower in an immaculate re-done bathroom was the perfect ending to an epic odyssey yesterday and today from Minnesota to Venice, Florida, for Easter Dinner with Becky and Al.
Exactly 1666 miles later, Stan is here for dinner. So are Virg and Gayle, visiting from Ft. Myers.
It took 24 hours of driving and 6 hours of sleep to get here in one bite. . .plus stops for miscellaneous. . . (Stan didn't opt for a diaper to buy some extra time) Smooth sailing until monsoon rains and construction projects hit in Kentucky and continued through Georgia. Stan napped on top of the old Smokey Mountains beyond Nashville. Hell, it could have been the original Old Smokey Rest Stop, we don't know. In the opposite lane going up the mountains, hordes of spring breakers were returning home to classes.
Today it is 81 degrees and sunny.
Stan's here for a week of fun in the sun and visiting. Getting started right now.
Happy Easter!

We sang table grace, then enjoyed Easter dinner. Becky and Al
are taking Virg and Gayle for a tour of Venice. Stan is napping.
