We’ll be leaving home in the morning (Thursday) and will only get as far as Nashville on our trek towards Gulf Shores, AL. We’re going to be spending the night with Linda and Jim and see all the re-model stuff they have done to their home. I know it’s going to be beautiful as Linda has a real talent for making things look great! Friday morning Linda is going to have a brunch so we’ll get to see Linda Lou and Buddy…Lawrence is in Michigan on a fishing trip…Dana, Jim, Emma, and Zane…not sure about the kids because they should be in school…and that will be so fun. It’s been months since we’ve seen any of them and that is just too long. Of course, Linda is concerned as to what I can eat but I hope she’ll just fix what they can eat and I’ll work it out for me. Celiac disease is a strange disease but it is manageable… especially eating at home. After the brunch, we’ll head for Rogersville, AL to visit for a little while with George’s aunt Imogene Page…his cousin Jerry Page will be in Florida so we won’t get to see him. We’ll eventually end up at Carter and Lori’s in Birmingham and will spend the night with them.  They have a new home and we’re anxious to see it…their last home was beautiful and this is going to be even more spectacular! Finally on Saturday morning, we will head for Gulf Shores…Carter and Lori will also be going there but are NOT staying with us. They will be going to celebrate their anniversary and had already made arrangements before we decided to go there with Scott, Allison, Daniel, Tanya, Jerod, Meredith, Blake and Grayson. Regardless, it will be a fun time and we’ll certainly miss Clark and Melissa and all their family members. Maybe next year we can work it out to all get together at some point. That would be fantastic!
We’re having some beautiful fall weather for now but they are predicting some really COLD days while we’re gone. I guess all my pretty flowers will be gone once we get back home. I sure hate that because the flowers have been really full and pretty this year. Oh well, we’ll look forward to spring and starting all over.
We will be going to spend a week +/- with our friends Ron and Jean Like in Venice, FL when our week is over in Gulf Shores. They are precious friends and we always have fun with them. Once all the fun is over, we should be back home some time on Sunday, October 25th. Please pray all our travels will be safe, full of fun, and lots of great memories made to share with the ones not able to come this year.
We continue to do well and look forward to what the Lord presents to us each day with great anticipation. I will post when I can while away from home but I plan to spend as much time as possible on the beach soaking up the “RAYS”.
Blessings………..
