Charlie,...so lucky

We're back from our trip and getting settled down.  Charlie got the best gift - as we're putting on our seatbelts ready to leave Myrtle, Carla knocks on the window and asks if Charlie can stay until the Stampers come up to Long's Retreat.  Charlie - so excited, didn't even hesitate.  Jumps out of the car, grabs his Star Wars figures and he's gone.  A week with Thomas.  I don't even think he misses us!
