December 1

White Pine Michigan
I cannot believe it is already December!  Looking out over the Gulf it is difficult to see "Christmas", But I am certainly not complaining about seeing sunshine instead of snow! 



It is much more fun to see this!




Karsten and the kids arrived safely on Monday.  They have all been enjoying hunting for shells, playing in the Gulf and the pool!  Isaiah is busy building sandcastle structures! Karsten even got a video of the dolphins! (I don't know how to post that...)

And, of course, we had to do some crafts!






We did spend a day shopping in John's Pass.  Very touristy, but so much fun walking through the shops! 





But, today is our last day in Indian Rocks Beach...It has been a wonderful trip and  definitely a place where we would return.  



Tomorrow it is off to Orlando as we begin the Disney leg of the trip on Sunday!

Too cute not to post!

Who's in your boat?

Sunday brought us together with another friend from Rick's old job in Fort Wayne.  We all had a wonderful lunch at Salvatori's  in New Haven, Indiana (we were introduced to Salvador's by our old friends Ken & Tami years ago!).  It was great to catch up!  Sometimes it seems that no time has passed at all.  Thanks to our "driver" we were able to drive past the places we lived between 1989 & 2003! Now I am motivated to find our old photo albums and find pics of all the work Rick did when we lived in these locations.  Our houses could have been shown in Better Homes & Gardens with all of his meticulous landscaping.  Sorry to say, that is all gone:(   It was now time to head back and pack up for our Monday departure. Monday took us to Ohio!  We made a surprise visit to see my cousin and her husband.  It had been many years since we had seen them!  (For all my knitting friends, she is a part owner of Hank, A yarn boutique !)

Whirlwind!

It has been awhile since the last post.  Today is November 20, and    it is the anniversary of Rick's Grandma Anna's passing.  So, 35 years ago today we were driving straight through from Denver to Chicago to be with the family.  In ways that seems so long ago, and then it also seems like yesterday.  The first time I met Grandma Anna, a short, wide Polish lady, she we so sweet and   going all out to praise her favorite, which she freely admitted, grandson...until he left the room.  Then she was all business!  The first thing out of her mouth was, "he will never marry You!"  Wow!  Rick and    I had only just met a week or so before, so I wasn't even thinking about getting married!  But I digress.   November 15, took us through Tennessee where we stopped to see my childhood friend, Jane.  We haven't seen her in years...since they moved to Tennessee which was over 10 years ago!   We left Jan...

Just Uneventful Fun!

November 10 , 2023, began at Bob Evan's catching up with some long time friends for breakfast.  Pic courtesy of our kind waitress, Jennifer.  How great to actually see Jim, Mary, John and  Pat in person was great!  We have promised to do better about keeping in touch... Now to keep that promise! On to Angola, Indiana to catch up with Julie and  Mike for lunch...Yes, we are eating a LOT!  Good thing we should be doing a lot of walking at the end of our trip!  Maybe I should be including food pics as the journey goes on... We continued South arriving in Kendallville at Ken and  Pam's.  What fun to be able to see the "kids" who are now grown with families of their own!  We were blessed to be a part of the family chaos!  4 boys,   one girl, three dogs and    loads of testosterone and    laughter!  And    noticed everyone had their eyes open in the pic! Today was a bit quieter. ...
