Today was a super busy day at Melrose. I had to give four tours of the house, which always wears me out, but I met a lot of fun people. I finally got my suitcase back last night! It was kind of funny--I was picking up some groceries at Wal Mart, including a toothbrush in case I never saw my suitcase again, but then the airport delivery guy called me and said that he was in Natchez but couldn't find my house. I had tried to give him directions, but he said he still had no idea how to get there. He said that the one place he knew how to get to in Natchez was Wal Mart. So I told him that I just so happened to be shopping at Wal Mart, and we decided to rendezvous out in front of the store. So, I flagged him down when he came, he had me sign all of these papers, and I went walking across the Wal Mart parking lot lugging my suitcase behind me. It was kind of late at night when this all went down, so I had to kind of laugh to myself. I realized that it was kind of a comical situation--picking up my suitcase in the Wal Mart parking lot like it was some kind of drug deal or something. I was glad to have my stuff back safe and sound though.
When I opened the freezer last night, I found that it was FULL of fish! I thought, "Oooh, nasty!" But at least the fish are frozen. The Ratcliffes obviously had a very successful fishing trip last week. I survived cleaning out the litter box yesterday at Nathan and Kate's, but it was pretty smelly. Luckily they are home now, so I don't need to worry about that anymore.
The big news here in town is that the famous mansion Dunleith, which is just down the street from me (where our favorite restaurant The Castle is located) caught on fire! Dunleith is probably one of Natchez's most well-known houses because it is such an imposing, ornate structure. The firemen saved the house, but the gift shop and some of the staff offices were gutted. Yikes! Hopefully they can get back on their feet there before too long. Well, I'm going to go eat some dinner.
