The report on our China shipment is that it passed through customs, and we owe some money. We\u2019re not sure for what, but we\u2019ll find out later. Our stuff should begin traveling this direction after it arrives at the company\u2019s receiving warehouse and gets sorted out into destinations. It could be here as early as the end of next week. Here\u2019s hoping!<\/p>\n

Judy and I made it to Baton Rouge this past weekend and had a great visit with Mom and Robert & Susan. She\u2019s steadily improving and making progress from her broken leg in May. She gets really tired after a short walk around \u201cThe Haven\u201d, but she\u2019s making it, and isn\u2019t fighting and arguing with the rehab folks like Dad regularly did.<\/p>\n

Courtney flew in Saturday morning. We picked her up at the airport, and headed over to Mom\u2019s for the day. I\u2019ve been showing her lots of photos of our travels. Last summer, she was so \u201cfoggy\u201d she didn\u2019t see any of our cruise photos. We had a lot of trip photos she hadn\u2019t seen, and she did a good job of staying awake while I worked through them.<\/p>\n

We enjoyed some nice evening meals with Robert and Susan. I\u2019d forgotten how large portions can be in restaurants in the US. We ate so much, and it was great. I\u2019ve also traveled around Baton Rouge enough now that I\u2019m beginning to feel comfortable with finding my way around.<\/p>\n

Sunday morning, we finished off our Baton Rouge visit with a trip for all of us to IHOP. Afterwards, we started the drive home. There are some long stretches of road without much interesting scenery. Eight hours later, we dropped Courtney off at her apartment, and then headed to our place in Fort Worth. This was the first \u201croad trip\u201d Judy has taken since we left for China. She\u2019s not sure which she dislikes the most, flying, or driving.<\/p>\n

Back in Fort Worth, we settled back into our Fort Worth schedule of morning exercise and afternoon job\/errand completion. I\u2019ve started playing table tennis with the DFW Table Tennis Association. They play in Las Colinas on Monday evenings, and Saturday mornings. There are lots of good players. I\u2019m going to have my hands full trying not to be the worst player in the group.<\/p>\n
