It was a really quick flight from Atlanta to Augusta, in fact we were up and then down! Unfortunately we then sat on the tarmac for about 30 minutes waiting for a plane to leave our slot - bet that doesn't happen when the Masters Golf tournament is on!!!!
Justin was outside waiting for me and about 40 minutes later we arrived at the Bryan abode! The area is so different from Chicago with wide open spaces and few buildings, very rural. It was lovely to see Ivy and Benny and my first cuddles were lovely! They have grown up so much!
I did get a shock when I saw Rooster the dog - he is huge and he gave me a fright we I got close - the mean growl didn't help! Luckily after a few sniffs and licks of my hand he must have remember that I took him for a few walks last year and he's been fine.
The property is huge with lots of trees and open land. We even saw an armadillo in the garden. Lauren has some vegetables growing with tomatoes, zucchini and cucumbers doing well. The swimming pool is a real plus in this heat!
The house is very large inside and Ivy and Benny have huge spaces in their bedrooms for all their toys. The netted sunroom is very pleasant as it's shady and spacious - sometimes the AC inside feels a bit too cool but it's great at night.
I am the 'pool attendant' and playmate at least twice a day but they do gang up on me and I'm always the target for splashing! They are real water babies! I think the swimming is helping my wrist get stronger although it still aches at times.
On Saturday I went to watch Ivy at her horse riding lesson. She has come on so much since last year and was even doing some low jumps. She just loves horses!
Yesterday was so hot at around 32 -37C so you can guess where we were.
