Watching for texts

My daughter has a long drive ahead, and she has texted me once from Iowa.
I like to know that she is traveling safely.
Bitty wanted nothing to do with her. Bruno loved her. Bob got up early enough to see her off as well. Both of us took naps today.
Tomorrow I will get to try on my partial dentures to make sure they fit right and then they get shipped back to be finished. That is about all I will be doing tomorrow.
Oh, I will take out some more trash. Monday is our regular day, but it is a holiday, so it will go out tomorrow.

I hope she's being careful driving home. Naps are always good.

She is careful and also chooses routes she is comfortable with. I do not take a lot of naps.

@GardenGerty I'm glad she does. I hope she's home or close to home by now.
I started taking naps in my late 30s and enjoy them.

She did. It took her about fourteen hours, I think. Of course that includes stops.

Samantha will tell you she is not good at depth perception, but she has only had one accident when she was a brand new driver, and scraped another car in a parking lot with our big old van. She drove part of the time when on Share Teams, even pulling a trailer. One year she left here by herself with a canoe strapped to the top of her Suburban. Yes, Bitty is even speaking to me again.

Hope all goes well on her drive home. I'm about ready for a nap.

Yes, I miss having her nearby but this is the life that is right for her and her family right now.

She chose an easy though slightly longer route and she did well.

I am sure Bitty would come around if she was there more.
Glad your daughter got home safely then Heather.

Yes, she would. Bitty was to the point of chasing a string before she left, but not letting her pet her.

I think Bitty gets confused, because my daughter looks a lot like me. She acted like she was not sure who to trust.

@GardenGerty Poor Bitty, cats are creatures of habits, they hate to be confused.

I kind of bummed around yesterday and waited for her to text me as she traveled.
