Florida Fun

We just got back from a week in Florida and I sure didn't want to come home.  I love it there so much!  I was able to see my aunt and uncle who live in Destin and my cousins in Gulf Breeze (outside Pensacola).  Ray, Jen, Michael, Madison and I had a wonderful time just swimming, riding in the boat, shopping, resting and of course, eating!  Because we always spend so much time deciding where to eat and the "I don't care, whatever you want" thing drives me crazy...I had everyone draw a day and that day, they had to decide all the meals.  It worked out wonderfully and as you can see, we ate at Hard Rock the first night.

I actually got a tan for the first time ever.  Usually I just burn and peel, but I was really careful this time and it worked!  So now, I'm just enjoying my last few weeks before school starts back.  We already have reservations for next year for a week in Destin, so that's something to look forward to throughout the year to come.  Hope your summer has been as fun and enjoyable and spent with family and friends as mine has.  Until next time...

Summertime Fun

  Well, since my last post a few "fun" things have happened!  First, my husband, my grandbaby and I were going to eat lunch and stopped at a local store so I could get some money out of the teller.  While I was in the store, a young teen, maybe 12 or 13, came up to car and held a gun to my husband's head and told him to "give him the car".  Needless to say, Ray wasn't going to give up the car with Madison inside, so he yelled at the kid and tried to open the door.  The kid was evidently surprised at Ray fighting back and dropped the gun and ran.  It was a 25 automatic and, thankfully, wasn't loaded.  Although Ray didn't know that at the time.  The police were called and so far, we haven't heard that they were caught.  It was very scary!  PTL that all was well.

Then, last Monday, I had a bad wreck and smashed my van all up.  I was sore for a few days, but I'm okay now.  The van, though, has $4500 worth of damage and will be in the shop for 2 weeks.  We have a rental car which we are loving, so I guess that makes it better.

Finally, yesterday, driving the rental car, we ran over some kind of metal thing and had a flat - IN THE RENTAL!  They were very nice and had AAA come out and fix it and then replaced the tire.

I've always heard it said that things come in threes, so maybe that was our three for a while.  Can you believe it?!  I need a vacation from the vacation! :)

We are going to Florida in July and I can't wait.  I hope you are all having a more restful time during these months than I have had over the past 2 weeks.  I'm looking forward to our pool opening this week and spending time with the family cooking out and swimming.  That's what I love most about summer.  Give me water and I'm a happy girl.  Take care and remember that God is in control - and boy, I'm glad about that!!! 

Just a few pics of Madison...and Cali the cat.  They're getting big!

Cali likes to watch Animal Planet!
