More Pics from my Atlanta Trip

I left Austin and arrived in Houston late and missed my connecting flight to Atlanta by only a few minutes. I'd thought I had a good chance of making it to my flight even though it was a mile from the arriving terminal to the departing terminal, a train ride, and then another 1/2 mile run, but no go. But I thought it was ok because even if I had made it, my bags probably wouldn't so the delay would be good because I'd have my bags.

I was wrong.

Even though my bags had an extra 2.5 hours to make my rescheduled flight, they did not arrive in Atlanta with me, so when I got to Atlanta, I booked a room near the airport and scheduled to pick up my bags the next day. When I got to the room I didn't have power cords, sundries, toothbrush/paste, socks or anything and I was going to figure out where a Super Walmart was and buy some, but when I called Mero and told him where I was staying he said "where are you? Lock your doors" So I went to Walmart in the morning.

But this 1/2 day delay due to my bags meant I wouldn't be arriving in Hagen early enough to go to Savannah with Jaeda as I'd scheduled, but it was ok. By the time I did arrive in Hagen, it was dinnertime so we went to dinner and watched movies the rest of the night. Fennec and Kalus argued with each other most of the time and it was entertaining to listen to.

Grits!

I'd never had grits before and I figured it was appropriate to eat grits for the first time in Georgia. In addition to making me grits for breakfast, she made sausage, bacon, eggs, and toast. And when I finished my meal, she wanted to know why I wasn't eating more. It was crazy.

This is Jaeda. She's beautiful and doesn't know it.

This is Fennec and Kaluschan, Jaeda's sons. They were entertaining. I asked Fennec when I got there if he was going to teach me any more dirty words like he liked to shock me with on the game and he blushed, looked away, and said no.

I want to go see big trees. Sorry about the lonely. I wish I could take it all away. You need more Missy time.
