He\u2019s had a big week going to the vet, an outing to PetsMart (where he learned about automatic doors and shopping carts), riding in the car, and staying home alone at times. He and Flavia are slowly being introduced although Flavia usually hides when she sees him. Fingers crossed they will get comfortable with each other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John and I went to a Hendrix alumni event this week in Hot Springs at 501 Prime. It was fun to see a few classmates!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"320\" height=\"215\" src=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_4575.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7797\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_4575.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_4575-300x202.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><figcaption>With Beka and Kathy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I drove to Little Rock on Tuesday to meet Ann for lunch at Star of India &#8211; we had a great two-hour visit! Samy, the owner, always astounds me when he asks how is \u201cBrother John\u201d when he hasn\u2019t seen John in years!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Charlie and I dropped John off at the airport in LR on Thursday at the crack of dawn. He went to a gaming convention in Columbus with our old friend Sean from Monrovia. They had a big time and enjoying playing board games and meeting some of the game designers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pamela came down Friday night and spent two nights with me while John was gone. We had fun just sitting on the balcony, eating McClard\u2019s tamales, and watching \u201cPeeWee Herman as Himself.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve enjoyed a wet week earlier in the week, but the last few days have been just humid and hot. John and I continue to enjoy \u201cLine of Duty,\u201d and I re-watched \u201cThe Intern\u201d yesterday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everything has been Charlie-centric this week, getting him settled in, etc. As you can see in this photo, he\u2019s pretty relaxed!
