I stopped by Sparkle's site this morning with Peaches - helped her put her 2nd lp tank back on, and we discussed we'd meet tomorrow morning for breakfast before she took off. We also discussed karaoke tonight (which I expected her to beg off, but she actually said probably not, but maybe). Shortly thereafter, Ernie and Lori picked me up, then picked Kellie up and off to Rockport we four went to have a day sight-seeing while Sparkle was cleaning putting away, etc.
Came back and when Ernie drove me to my site, I wasn't looking, but out of the corner of my eye noticed that her truck wasn't there - figured she ran to the store, etc. Got Peaches and took her for a walk, including a stop at Sparkle's site - to find it EMPTY. Yes, she SNUCK OUT. She is in TROUBLE with not just a capital T but all caps!
Sparkle, I know you hate goodbyes, but geez. Safe travels my friend - let me know you're safe - and I'll be looking forward to you returning in March.
