Beth and I are back on house sitting duty after a great stay with family in Wisconsin and Iowa. In Wisconsin, we got to see Beth’s mom and her extended family as well as Quade family members and lots of other friends at Beth’s mom’s 80th birthday party. It was a great day with about 150 people in attendance. In Iowa, we got to see all of Bob’s siblings and parents, even with some unexpected health issues.
Yesterday, we arrived in Kansas City, Missouri to begin an 11-day sit which was supposed to be with a cute dog named Frisco. Unfortunately, last week, we received a text that he passed away. The owners still wanted us to watch the home while they are vacationing on the east coast, so here we are for our 107th sit.
After a walkthrough of the home care needs yesterday afternoon, the homeowners took us to a great local restaurant for a light dinner. Today, I drove them to the airport to catch their 7:30 flight, and Beth went for a run. We have spent the day getting settled, buying groceries, and making plans for tomorrow. I also had an eye appointment.
We have our sits scheduled out for the rest of the year, taking us to Austin, Texas; Tucson, Arizona; Denver, Colorado; Chicago, Illinois; Cambridge, England, and finishing the year in back in Austin.
