Packing up the Land Rover/Stuff on the Table

I’m packing up some summer clothes for Liz and David, these things will make the trip to DC this coming Sunday when Jamie & Steve drive the Land Rover up. Liz will be so happy to have a vehicle at the Mologne House and not have to rely on shuttle buses and friends to get her places.

Miller constantly sniffs around in Liz’s old room, where there are lots of DAVID & LIZ scents coming off all their summer clothes . He was trying to get under the bed, but under the bed is full of their beautiful framed pictures and wedding china. Sorry Miller, no room for you.

I’m sorting through clothes, looking for the faded red NANTUCKET sweatshirt,( it must be in the storage unit) and Miller decides to give me this photo OP, laying on one of Liz’s Lilly halter tops. Yea, so Miller is sniffing his Mommie... that sad look is too much!

Miller, you are breaking my heart!

David is progressing….so many things are going on in his life, it overwhelms me. I pray that each and every day , he has the strength to push through.

We've been home since Sunday night, .... long day flying home from DC . ... got home about 8:00 pm ct. I had that feeling of sore throat, ear aches…starting last Thursday night. Our hotel room had 2 A/C settings…freezing cold when the fan was blowing , then stuffy, hot when blower was not on. I have been sick since with a cold/summer sinus infection. I hope tomorrow, Wednesday, I can be normal and get some things accomplished.

These pictures are from last Wednesday night, when the AT&T National golf tournament held this “BIRDIES FOR THE BRAVE” event at the Mologne House Courtyard....

Sadly, David missed meeting TIGER WOODS, Tiger visited WARD 57 on Tuesday, David was in SICU when Tiger went to Ward 57.

So here is our Miller dog, the doggie that that has not seen his real Mom & Dad since, hhmmm, February, for his Dad, then May 13 for his Mommie. We are giving him back and forth with David’s family, when we fly to DC Walter Reed to spend time with David and Liz. He looks so sad! But I think that is a WEINER DOG THING! He is so loved and cared for by his 2 sets of GRANDPARENTS…. *AND HIS AUNT JAMIE*. Jamie, David's sister, totally adores Miller and his come to his rescue many times... such as....when he had fleas, taking him to Pet Smart for a new toy, getting him new name tags, since he no longers lives is Shreveport, and snuggling with him when he needs some loving! He is totally spoiled and loved!
