I was awake early and ready for school early.  I asked Barbara to come help with my breakfast. 

 The Gang of four waiting for the bus.

I don't remember what I did at school.  I know I jumped off the bus, gave Barbara my backpack and ran off to play with the gang.  It was a perfect day to play outside.   GGF was outside raking leaves and pine needles  and sweeping the street.  Barbara picked up the piles of leaves and pine needels he made.

Barbara went to Sams Club this morning and that meant she and GGM cooked all day.  They buy meat, cook it, portion it, and freeze it.  They don't want to cook every day so that is their method to keep from cooking daily.  I was asked if I would like to have some fried chicken.  I didn't know what that was.  I ate two chicken legs and liked it.  I think I now remember eating fried chicken, but it has been a long time.

I played outside until it got dark.  Cole, Anthony, and I came up to my room, to play until 7pm, when they had to go home.  I had a bath using one of Mommy's bath balms.  Hers does not have a toy in it, but it has bubbles, and smells good.

I wore my white leggings to school.  Mommy told me to take them off before I went to play.  Well, I forgot and I fell on my knees and got them very dirty.  While I took my bath, Barbara worked on getting them clean.  Oh, how good she is to me.  

I had a snack, brushed my teeth, and Mommy read chapter 4 of Champion Dog Prince Tom.  I listened better tonight that I have in the past.  Maybe I am getting interested.  I had a little time to play on the iPhone.

 Mommy agrees that I need to quit using electronics after 8pm.  That means I have 30 minutes before bedtime that I can spend visiting with Mommy and reading.  Since I quit playing with friends at 7pm, I have an hour to do my bedtime routine and play with the iPad or iPhone.  So at 8pm, Mommy and I talked.  Then Barbara agreed to tell me a story.  Oh, how tired she got of the Fireman Sam stories she told me on most days on the drive to and from School in the Pines.  Often there was a wicked witch in the stories and Barbara used a witchy voice that entertained me. 

 I fell asleep at 8:23pm.

 If it's not cold, I like to sleep in only my underwear. 

As it turns out Mimz doctor wanted her to stay in the hospital today and tonight.  That means she and Mrs. Ross will start home from Mobile, Alabama tomorrow.  Mrs. Ross will have to do all of the driving.  They will stop every couple of hours to streach their legs.  I hope Mimz is not too uncomfortable on that long drive home.
