Indiana/Florida trip, part 8

(No one mentioned that my numbering in this series stuttered. I just went back and fixed that. I think.)

Great Grandma came down for lunch:

And then I guess it was that evening that we went shopping. Mom and Dad took me to Trader Joe and Target (? or Walmart?).

So, it was a nice, quiet family day, and I enjoyed it very much.
