The days start early here in Surf City, as in Greenville, but it’s such a pleasure to was the sun rise over the water. Frankie’s now pretty much settled in here, comfortable with the sights and sounds/noises, and sleeping through the night (mostly). Whereas on the first day she really was skittish and wanted to be held the entire time, by now she’s found lots of favorite comfortable spots, and that’s both nice and helpful.

The furniture is all back in place, most everything is cleaned to Pattie’s satisfaction, my office is fully set up and functioning. I’ve been getting all of my teaching done without any technical glitches or lags, so being here is working out in terms of meeting ECU-responsibilities.

About 30 minutes before beginning teaching this morning, was happy to get a call from Jackson who was, as usual, all smiles. Often he calls before Pattie’s up and at ’em, but today she was readying to take Frankie to an appt, so Jackson got to say hi to them…with the living room’s resident marlin in the background.

And another one while Pattie had a bite to eat…

Off to teaching a bit more today…
