It turned lovely and cool late yesterday and was really good for sleeping--under the quilt! We left our window open a crack, but it was too cool to leave them all open. Unfortunately, it was after 11 when I went to bed, I have a lot to do (I'm very excited) and I have a headache.

Ray and I took a long walk yesterday with the dogs, down by the river. We went to Pilates and there were only 3 of us. It was a great class; we got to use big balls... We stopped by FTX and bought Nathalie a baseball cap and were looking around at all the UGA-themed products to see if there was anything for my Mom for Mothers' Day. There were some books and I bought her The Blind Side. I must admit I am hoping she wants to take it on the trip and she will let me read it...and maybe leave it for Nathalie. Then we went to Earth Fare, so Ray could pick up the grocery store gift cards he had ordered for the Fellowship. I bought a few groceries, but mostly we didn't need much, because we're leaving tomorrow! I worked on my packing, but the suitcase is being fixed, so I can only strew things around. The Captain reported that it will be rainy and cool in Toulouse for the next week, so we will have to bring more heavy clothes than we thought. Other than that, it sounded kind of appealing when the temperature was over 90 on Friday. Now that it's cooler, less so...Washed clothes, decided about toiletries...don't know what I did all afternoon.

Jaron and Amanda came again to see the garden. I picked a few more strawberries; they will be gone when we come back. We took them down to Fire Ant Field, where there was a gathering in honor of Dan's semi-retirement. It was fun to introduce them. I came back and left the 3 of them there. I took a long bath and when I got out, they were downstairs looking at the maps. Ray was telling them the names of each of our neighbors. Then I mixed up the bread and cookies and put them in the fridge, watched a little TV, tucked in the loose ends on the hoodie and went to bed. It was after 11 though and I still woke up at 5:45, so am a little behind on sleep for now.
