Friends, Family, Fun, Florida
Great to catch up with David and Trish in Columbia then headed On to Davenport Florida on Tuesday and it was a little chilly. Glad today warmed up and we got to play Pickleball 😎😎
On the road again 😎😎
So excited to be heading south to sunny Florida via Columbia SC.
A Brand New Year
Looking back on the last decade – so many great memories – 7 grandchildren arrived on the scene and # 8 due in April. Mark retired, We have travelled a lot, sold our first and only home, became happily homeless and are building our first home.
So thankful for health and strength, family and friends and the Grace of God in our lives. Looking forward to this year and all that lies ahead. Our prayer is that we would honor God, love Him more and be found faithful in whatever He calls us to do.
May the Lord Bless each of you this Year – May you discover just how much He loves you. May His peace be yours.
Merry Christmas from Lexington
Wishing you all a blessed CHRISTmas . We are here in Lexington with Jill, Buddy, Knox and Monroe for Christmas- God willing next year will be at Corran Cottage.
We are so excited to see the progress – we enjoyed taking a walk across the fields and standing in our great room looking out at the valley. Hopefully by summer we’ll be here, but for now the homeless adventures continue and we are loving this season of life.
Stay tuned for our next adventure
Heading to the airport again 😃😃
Can’t wait to go to BWI on Monday – however this time we’re picking up not flying.
Melody, Tim, Hannah, Laina, Andrew and Abby are coming to town – yeaaah 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻We can’t wait to have all our children and Precious Ones, in one place. So excited to spend Thanksgiving and the following week together.
Loving Lexington
Spending time with Knox and Roe. We had breakfast at Nikos Grille then drove on the Blue Ridge Parkway, toured around VMI (Virginia Military Institute),Washington and Lee University campus, had a picnic on our land and picked some pears from our tree.
Time to head East again
Sitting in the Minneapolis airport waiting for our flight back to Virginia- tried to catch an earlier flight but our ticket wouldn’t allow any changes – Delta 🤨.
It has been a great 10 days with Mel, Tim and kiddos. The weather was great for most of our time. Can’t wait to see them all for Thanksgiving next month in Virginia 😀
Exploring Wisconsin
Yesterday we went to Comstock Creamery and saw cheese being made and tried some as well as some delicious cheese curds. Then on to Shell Lake but it was so blustery we didn’t stay long. Today we went to Interstate Park at St Croix, fun hiking and some brave people (Mel and Tim) did some rock climbing.
Fun times in Cumberland
The weather has been breezy and sunny. We’ve enjoyed the beautiful countryside, watching soccer, taking walks, going to the playground, final Dairy Queen trip of the year, and browsing downtown Cumberland
