July 4th

Well, don’t faint or anything, but I’m going to write!

It’s hard to write when things aren’t going the way

you would like them to.

Scott and I went down to Dad’s Winter Haven for the

holiday weekend. It was so nice to be alone together!

We got up early each morning and took a walk on

the beach. I am used to walking Bear and Chloe

each morning, so I wanted to keep up the good

habit. I packed my breakfast and would eat it

in the car. Then, we’d pack up our chairs and

umbrella and go sit and watch the ocean.

We stayed till about 11 and then went to

Chick-Fil-A for a drink and their free internet

access. The service in there is great.

After lunch, we would take a nice nap.

After supper, we went back to the ocean and

stayed till sundown. On the fourth, we saw several

fireworks displays from the beach. We ended up

staying till 9:30 because of the fireworks! That is a late

night for me.

I took some pictures, but that will have to wait.

I figured I’d better write even though my pictures aren’t

ready.

Rain, rain go away!

This morning’s headlines said Port Orange has had 22 inches of rain Sunday through Thursday!

I think we’ve had enough!!!!

I got a train ticket up to Florence, SC where Scott is going to pick me up. May 26th will be our 31st wedding anniversary! I can honestly say that Scott is my best friend and my soul mate. We are going to Dad’s Winter Haven to have a few days to ourselves. I love the ocean and truly find restoration in watching the waves. Our God made the ocean and He even cares about me!

Deborah is still hanging on, but I must go home. I hope I’ve been a help to Ray, Mom and Jean.

Gecko in a Cactus


I found this Gecko sitting on top of Mom’s cactus’ this morning!

This first picture was during a drought here in Florida.

The second is after three solid days of rain!

I guess I brought NC’s rain with me.  We’ve had so much rain that I wanted to share.

This has been a hard visit. 

My step-sister is not long for this world.

I am feeling everyone’s prayers for me and they are much appreciated!

Mother's Day

I had a lovely Mother’s Day.

  Rachel cooked dinner for us at her house.

I got a dozen beautiful yellow roses and the DVD

Popeye with Robin Williams.  That film always makes

Me laugh so hard. 

I love each one of my kids, they are truly a bunch

Of characters and I never laugh so hard as when

They are all together!

Andy, do you remember?

Andy,

Do you remember putting that plastic roach or spider in Mom’s bed?

Do you remember coming and telling me when she was about to find it?

Do you remember our excited giggles after she screamed?

Well, I have had something come into my life that reminds me of that.

Joel got for his cats, a pretty big mouse.

You would call it Kharma, I call it the law of reaping what you’ve sown!

The cats leave this thing about anywhere.  I never see them move it, but I always

Find it!  I screech and then remember doing the same thing to our Mother!
