Monday, July 29th - William and Mary Tour then Drive HOME!

Monday 29th: Tour at William and Mary - separate post.
Again another night where I did not sleep well, woke up at 2 am when Ford shouted something, then when he got up to use the bathroom and hit the wall. I think I finally dozed for an hour, getting up at 6:30. I did my usual routine, drank coffee and ate the free breakfast, a bagel and yogurt this time. Ford only had juice with his pills. We packed up the room, an hour early before we needed to drive to W&M. 
We finished the tour about noon. I drove us to a restaurant, Food for Thought, that was on the top list for the area. I had the beet salad with blue cheese, candied pecans. AA enjoyed her vegan "Beyond" burger with mushrooms, avocado. Ford ate fish and chips. 
Then on the ride to our evening stop at Florence SC. I messed up navigating by missing our turn onto I295 South. 
Tuesday 30th: Breakfast at the hotel was comprehensive with scrambled eggs, Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches and the usual oatmeal, cereals, yogurt, etc. - which I like, I am usually the only one who wakes up hungry! Alyzabeth usually joins me while Ford will drink juice, eat a biscuit or bagel that I bring back to the room.
 
Drove to Carolyn's, picked up Ginger. Started laundry and catching up on mail, household chores (Donna had been to our house so all clean!). All our plants survived! 
Ford and I went to the River House (our usual friends all are recovering from COVID), spoke to Christina Falsone Darling who is leaving for her hometown of Detroit - we told her about Bargain Block. Then Chipotle for dinner. Still watching lots of Olympics. Melissa called, talked about the LSL home tax valuation.
Brought Grammie's "what not" corner shelf to Florida.
AA is happy to be back with her Ginger dog!
Wednesday 31st: Didn't sleep well, sneezing, finally went to the couch and slept until about 7:00 a.m. We relaxed, continued to do laundry, make "to-do" lists. AA drove her car to air it out. Bought a few groceries, making spaghetti for dinner.
Terri sent a photo of her new windows:
