Sunday morning we woke up to thunderstorms and stiff muscles. My crazy sister went and did yoga in the pouring rain while I stayed in bed dozing and watching tv. I had wanted to go to the antique store and drugstore/used bookstore but it was Sunday and everything is closed in Alabama on Sundays. My favorite part of the day was losing Maureen right before we left to take her to the airport. After waiting in the lobby for forty minutes I checked the hotel room and she was not there. My heart started racing and panic was setting in until I found her curled up in the backseat of the car. Neither Jacqui or I knew she was there and Jacqui even locked her into the car!! Oh my Mojo potato! We left really early for the airport and had plenty of time to eat before Maureen's plane left. We stopped to eat at the Bonefish Grill in Pensacola, Florida. 
Our food server was amazing and promptly brought all of our food as quickly as he could so we would have time to eat it. The food, oh the food!! 
What's left of corn chowder. Sweet and spivey and served piping hot!! 
Bang Bang Shrimp, tossed in a spicy cream sauce served of iceberg lettuce. Delectable!!
Rainbow trout topped with mango salsa and served with a side of succotash and potato au gratin. 
After we returned from dropping off Maureen, Jacqui took me to see her home. It was beautiful. There is green everywhere the only downside is the previous occupants were rude, disrespectful, inconsiderate lazy people. They left the house in shambles and left a majority of there personal items and furniture in on the front and back porches and in the home! Unfortunately Jacqui has a lot of work ahead of her but despite her disappointment I believe she is looking forward to making the house into a home. Here are some pictures of her house. It was this good!! All three of us demolished it!! 
Dessert was creme brûlée topped freshly made whipped cream. It did not last long.
Right side and back of the house.
The lovely Jacqui in the front of the house.
The super steep stairs up to the second floor. I describe them as if stairs and a ladder mated and the ladder had more dominat characteristics. And yes I went up and down those stairs. 
This is the queen of the castle her name is Rosie. She is sitting in her throne alcove on the second floor. While Jacqui was with me and Maureen the previous tenants decided that they wanted to come back into the house. Which they did and boy were Jacqui and the cats pissed. One cat, Pumpkin, disappeared and we didn't find her until I came down the stairs and saw her on top of the fridge way back in the corner. Her royal highness, Rosie took another approach and went potty all over their stuff. Bravo Rosie!
I am so very thankful and grateful to Jacqui for this amazing adventure and I look forward to seeing her house to home progress.
