Greetings from Virginia!
Bob flew down and drove with me and my collie and cat from Jackson, MS to Reston, VA. It was a long drive but mercifully the animals did really well in the car. Bob was suitably impressed. We stopped on the way and saw a couple of his good friends who live in North Carolina.
I am actually glad I did not have to start a job right away; I was exhausted. I've been taking naps almost every day, and unpacking when the mood strikes. We have too much stuff!! But the house is really nice and I love having real wood floors! We have had our first household catastrophy: water leaking from the AC. The repair guy is here; he says the pan has rusted out. Gotta love home ownership.
I have a job interview tomorrow with a law firm.
Big projects include getting some kind of curtains on our sliding glass doors because that side of the house does heat up. Also, a major yard cleanup is in order. The house has been vacant for almost a year and there is some leaf litter and weeds, that kind of thing. Nice yard with trees and not too much grass. I'll attach photos later.
For those of you who don't know, Laura is transferring to Millsaps this fall. I think it's great, and we'll definitely make it back to Jackson for visits. Helen is in Memphis with our beagle, Max; they are staying with my brother, James, and his family. Yesterday she had the house to herself and was eating bagel bites and watching a SpongeBob marathon.
My new email is apmays@yahoo.com. Drop me a line sometime.

Welcome home! Enjoy your free time while you have it.
When will Helen and Max join you?

They will be here later in July, I guess. Big question is: does Laura drive here with Helen and Max, leaving her stuff in Jackson, or what? I hate for her to make that drive. Maybe I could meet them halfway, or fly out and drive with them.
