Drew's first weekend in town

After many weeks, Drew finally arrived here in Florida! It didn't take him long to figure out Southern living:

Fishing after church

I say "after church" to explain why I am casting a line in a dress and cardigan.

Drew got a chance to check out the house we will be renting; he started on some painting and projects, so there's not much to show right now except the back yard. We've got a little deck and planty of fenced space for our new puppy:

Speaking of, here is our puppy at 3 weeks. Her name is Lady Mae Mitchell- Drew came up with the middle name- we figured she was born in the South and needed to be named accordingly!

She is teeny-tiny right now. We can't take her home for another 4 weeks.

Drew knew right away that the one with the white nose would be ours. I'm glad he was there, because I would have taken all four home. But he picked a pretty darn cute one, didn't he?

And on Labor Day, we went to the FSU football game against Miami. In a nutshell, it was nuts (I'm such a loser). Now I know what people from Tallahassee do for fun!

The "Marching Chiefs" are apparently one of the best in the nation-

some of my students are involved.

I'm happy to report that Drew has already made a best friend. She has four paws and is pleasantly plump. She has taken such a liking to Drew that she pretty much follows him everywhere:
