Here it is Friday and we’ll all be heading out in the morning. We have had a lot of fun all week and have all gotten a good tan that will fade quickly once we get back to KY and no sunshine! Carter and Lori left yesterday and we enjoyed the time we were able to spend with them…they are both back to work today. Oh well, all good things really do have to end.
George, Carter, Scott, Daniel, and Jerod all went on a fishing boat yesterday and caught 54 keepers. They were all trout…52 white trout and 2 speckled trout. We had a delicious dinner off of it last night and still have a couple of big packages in the freezer…we’ll be having fish taco’s for dinner tonight with the left over fish from yesterday. It was a perfect day for fishing, I guess. All of us that stayed at home, spent our time on the beach and that was good since we all know our time is quickly coming to an end.
Today it’s really windy and quite a bit cooler but we’re still going to the beach in a few minutes. I know for fact that October is the time to be in Gulf Shores. It’s almost a ghost town here now as compared to the summer months. The days have all been warm with some being even hot with cool nights…as compared to HOT days in the summer, warm nights, and crowds of people every where. In my opinion, this is the time to be here!
We’re looking forward to our week in Venice, FL with our friends Ron and Jean Like next week while all our kids are heading back to work or school. Vacations are fun and we hate for it to end but it really is good to finally get back home and sleep in your own bed. Thanks to our kids and grandkids that were with us this week and for helping keep this week so enjoyable. George and I have truly been blessed with good kids and extra special grandkids.
Guess I’d better get myself ready for the beach…I may need a coat since it’s only going to be in the 70’s with a stiff wind. Right now it’s not that warm but we’re hoping the 70’s will get here quickly.
Pray that we’ll all have safe travels home…Scott and Allison to Memphis…Dan and Tanya and kids back to Wilmore…and George and I to Venice. God continues to be good and faithful to each of us and I continue to marvel at all he blesses each of with every day. Once more…God did good when he made the ocean and the beaches!
Blessings…..
