No longer on the river and, again, an empty nester. Back to living on Fleming Island and making some more friends!

Like mother, like son

Last night, as I mentioned, we enjoyed the sight of the full moon. All day long it was cloudy, and in the afternoon it began raining. Once Justin got home, showered, and dressed, he went to get my car filled up with gas for me. He goes to the Gate Station to do so as he 'earns' Jaguar Dollars for every 10 gallon purchase. He sees to it that I have gas in my car---such a good boy!
                  
While he was gone, a relatively short jaunt just over the Doctors Lake bridge and back, I reheated our leftovers so dinner would be ready when he got back. Everything was heated up, the table was set, and no Justin. At one point I went to the kitchen door to listen for him to lock the car door so I could hit the button on the 'wave to reheat my reheated food. 
                     
Just then my phone went off---it was Justin calling!  He said, "Like mother, like son...I was talking with the ladies at the gas station." What a hoot! He said, "I know you were wondering where I was so long..." and I asked him how he knew I was standing at the kitchen door. I did have to reheat the food once more as I had him stop at the Walgreens to get Diet Coke, since it cost too much at the Gate Station. At least the rain had let up!
