More vacation thoughts
2seperate round trips on the Bolivar Ferry–which is FREE! Saw dolphins, pelicans, and seagulls and some really big ships. I actually got in the ocean, swam a little, fought off some deadly attack seaweed, and watch fish jumping out of the water only yards away from me. I cAn’t believe how many people here are [...]

Sitting in the back of the Pilot on the beach (yes, you can drive on the beach!) watching the kids play in the ocean and watching the big Birds dive for their lunch. Last night was an adventure. The room we thought we had we didn’t . Too long a story to type on the [...]

My Spirit Teacher
The Spirit will guide you into all truth. John 16:3 As I hold my Bible in my hand, I think that it can’t possibly contain all that God is, has done, or has to say. Granted, I have not read it all (I’m only 5 chapters of John away from completing the New Testament minus [...]

Great Expectations-part 1
I love to read. Currently, I am finishing up Great Expectations by Charles Dickens for the 2nd time. I have a feeling that I only understand about 80-85% of the book and Dickens’ humor (maybe more on this 2nd time around), but I like it nonetheless. The book is divided into the 3 stages of Pip’s [...]

Our new fountain
Wow, me and Kevin have always liked the trickle, trickle sound of water. (Fountains and waterfalls, not leaky faucet trickles.) Now, we have one in our very own backyard! Well, technically it’s not a fountain or a waterfall, it’s the return on our new pool–but, it sounds just like one! My mom bought a blow-up [...]

The joys of homeownership
Ah, the American Dream. Owning your own home. Am I the only one who thinks this isn’t all it’s cracked up to be? Maybe it depends on your house. A couple of hours of HGTV and I start resenting my own house. “If only…” “the floors were different”, “the appliances were newer”, “the roof didn’t [...]
