We were up early and on our way to the marina parking lot at 6:30 am where a van was waiting to take the five of us (plus two Lucys) to the airport in Fort Pierce, about a 20-mile drive. We were in the air at 8 am, made a stop in Tennessee, and touched down at the Mason City airport shortly after 1 pm. What a convenient way to travel – no waiting, no security, and no difficulties over the dogs. Both Lucys took medicine to help calm them before the flight which did help them sleep but made big Lucy a bit snarly for the rest of the day.
It was nice to be back at home. Gale’s goal for the afternoon was to get all three cars up and running. Our son, Casey, had been here over the winter and we knew that the Jeep wouldn’t start for him, the Toyota had a flat tire and the Escort had a muffler problem. Before the day was over, the Jeep had a new battery, the Toyota had to be “jumped” and the tires inflated, and the Escort was dropped off in Mason City so its exhaust system could be repaired. While in Mason City, we picked up some groceries at Target and headed back to Clear Lake. On our way to the condo, we stopped at Movie Gallery and grabbed a couple of movies and picked up some Chinese food. We stayed up long enough to watch one movie as we ate dinner and then it was up to bed.
