After the farewell dinner on Sunday, we spent the rest of that day and Monday trying to wrap up errands and finish packing. Parker's last night of karate with Sensei Tony was on Monday night at Faith. He had a very good class and afterwards got to spend all of the karate dollars he had saved up at the karate store. His haul? Included an orange glowball, a new puzzle and a Nemo mask for the pool.
Here he is with Sensei Tony at the punching bag.
The rain caused us to be over two hours late leaving Hudson, and then there was an overturned semi-trailer on I-75. We finally got into Ocala after 4:00pm. Grandmommy and Granddaddy traveled with us as well as Miss Rael. Remarkably the cats went into their carriers pretty easily and were even so relaxed on this trip in the van with Daddy that they both took naps!
Fortunately the weather was much nicer in Ocala and there were a few folks from Belleview and Druid Hills at the parsonage to welcome us. The Druid Hills congregation had left flowers on the fireplace mantel as well as food in the refrigerator, food in the pantry, and a wonderful pot roast cooking in a crock pot on the kitchen counter!!!
Things were a little hectic as we unloaded the truck and spread the boxes out in the different rooms so unfortunately we didn't get any pictures of that process. And then the movers drove out to Belleview UMC to unload all the stuff for Mommy's office. Here's the only pictures of the boxes from that night which we did get. That's Miss Rael sitting on our kitchen counter - with the family room in the background.
