Saturday the 27th

This past Saturday was such a fun day.  We met Teresa and Richard, along with the three kids still at home, for lunch.  Teresa selected one of their favorite restaurants and it really was a good place.  I think their speciality is bison dishes and that was our first time to have a bison burger…mine was bunless, of course…and it was really tasty.  We enjoyed just catching up on what’s happen since we saw them last year…second child left for college was their main event.  Hannah will be graduating this spring and not real sure just where the military will be sending her, or if she’ll start on her graduate program.  She should find out sometime in March.  They truly are a sweet family and so enjoyable to be around and definitely something we look forward to every time we are in this area.

Last Wednesday we went to Owns Fish Camp for dinner…thanks to Daniel and Tanya and their kids.  We have money left over on the gift card so we’ll gladly eat there again before we leave.  George had snapper and I had some of the best sea scallops I’ve ever eaten.  Two other couples went with us…Bob & Kathy from home and Ron & Jean our Kansas friends…and everyone raved about the food.  Great choice Crockett’s and we loved it.

We’re still in shock at the loss of our good friend, Bob Dadisman, and I can only imagine how lost the church and family feel.  He was a good friend and we have years of fond memories to carry us through until we meet again.

A cold front has again showed up in Venice.  Of course, this cold front will only last about two days and it’s nothing like the first three weeks we were here.  We’ll be in the 60’s but the wind is back making it feel colder.  We are so much warmer than home so I will not complain…much.

Tyler has made a definite decision about where he’s going to college.  He has joined the Air National Guards and will be attending the University of Alabama.  He will become a pilot when it’s all said and done.  He’s super excited and can’t wait to get started.

Still doing our usual stuff…which can be interpreted as “nothing exciting”…and loving it most days.  We’ve been to the movies twice, out to eat several times, visited with friends, gone to the beach a LITTLE BIT, and walked most days.  The time is flying by and January is coming to a rapid close and February always flies by so we’ll be home before we’re ready…that is, if it’s still cold at home. I so enjoy warm, sunny days and could live the remainder of my life without one more cold, snowy day.

We continue to pray for Jerre and all he’s going through.  Cancer is an ugly disease and we’re praying hard he will fight hard and win the battle.  Hope all the remainder that read this blog are well and staying warm.  Linda and Jim loved their time in Mexico and didn’t drink the water.  Have a great week and I’m sending  love to you all.

Blessings
