Praise be to God! Charles and Belinda drove from Norfolk, Virginia, today... to visit with "Nick the Cat," who is staying with his wonderful vet "Doc Crystal" associated with the Coastal Cat Clinic! It took us about 5 hours to drive south. It rained a bit, but then it stopped, and it was a lovely drive down!
The wonderful staff at the clinic had given him a bath. He was getting blow-dried when we arrived. (What a great life, right?!) We sat down on the floor and just loved petting him and cuddling him and talking with him. ("Quack," he would say... and then "Aack," he would say.) It was so great to be able to see him and talk with the Doc about how he has been doing these past months. He has lost some weight. He is eating better, getting the right drug treatment. What a relief to see him doing as well as he is! Yea, Coastal Cat Clinic staff!!!
Feeling much better after the visit with Nick, we drove to nearby Swansboro and enjoyed walking around the downtown area, shopping in the little specialty shops there. Afterwards, we drove back to Jacksonville, where we enjoyed a WONDERFUL supper at Logan's Roadhouse. It was all just as good as we remembered it to be. We even got to sit in our #1 favorite booth!!!! "Louis" took very good care of us; thank you, Louis!
We settled in onboard Camp Lejeune, the Marine Corps Base here. Our room at the Officers Quarters (BOQ) is great... very comfortable! We did a little shopping at the exchange. We were able to find a great shadow box for Charles to use, mounting his Navy insignia, etc., into it, as a wonderful reminder of his time in the Navy. Yea!
Now for a good night's rest and then... Tomorrow we will stop by and see Nick one more time! (Great Valentine's Day present to see "our boy!") Afterwards, we will be off, driving back north to Norfolk, Virginia.
Thursday: Charles is having a tooth out at the Naval Dental Clinic there. He is happy that he can get this done, since his one tooth is loose and bothering him right now.
All in all... a great day! Praise be to God!!!
