Adventures in the South

On July 29th following AGF worship, Kathy and I drove south in our 2003 Caravan with 180,000 miles! It was about 12:30pm and we took a break about 4 hrs later very near the Tappen Zee Bridge. By midnight we were in the DC area and at around 4am we stopped for a short sleep at the NC Welcome Center.

Now before all the drama that surrounded Chick-fil-A, I told Kat that it would be really nice to try one out as they are few and far between up north. We found the best of all at around 7am in Roanoke Rapids, NC where the was a Chick-fil-A next to a Starbucks Coffee in front of a Walmart off I-95! We both had a nice breakfast sandwich, I enjoyed a cup of coffee and a stop at the Super Center yielded the item I needed to keep our cell phones charged. Great stop! Now onto Savannah, GA!

 Old Savannah

We arrived in Georgia about 2pm. We had a room booked at the Savannah HIExpress. This was Monday July 30. So we had supper and just relaxed ... showering and enjoying the A/C as it was hot and humid. A huge thunderstorm hit and gave us quite a lightning show. We slept great and the next morning our adventure in Georgia began. We drove around Savannah to scenes like the picture above and then went east toward the Atlantic to Tybee Island. I was anxious to see this area as I viewed a Rachael Ray Food Network show years ago where she spent just $40. for meals at the Island and the scenery stuck with me. We couldn't stay long, but the area was pretty impressive! We were amazed at the loud buzzing sounds all around us while viewing the scenes. We later learned that the noise was from cicada bugs. Google it. You can even watch and listen on YouTube to these creatures. Reading up on both Tybee Island and Hilton Head Island, SC (before driving down) we knew that the sea turtles would be preparing their nesting for the little ones to be born. I wondered if possibly this was the noise we were hearing. Kathy, on the other hand was calling it right all along. She thought it was probably Cicada, which I had never heard of before!

After about an hour of driving around, we headed back to I-95 to drive into Florida. We made it to our destination in Kissimmee around 6pm where we were to visit with Mike's family. Mom, Dad and sister Deb live there.
All around us

There's more to come! So stay tuned!

Lobstah!

Check this out! Found this on Yahoo! They say to buy and eat this big boy it would've cost you over $100. Here's the picture and story: Jan. 10: Neil Robinson, of Portsmouth N.H., carries a 140-year-old, 20-pound lobster onto the rocks in Kennebunkport, Maine, to be released. The lobster was confined to a tank at a New York City seafood restaurant for about 10 days until the restaurant had a change of heart and agreed to let People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals return the lucky lobster, named George, to Kennebunkport, where he was be released back into the sea.

On Hold

I kinda feel my life is on hold. I was given walking papers on my job of nearly 10 years in February and I used the time off unwisely. I made detailed lists of things to do around the house and to this day may a third of those have been completed. I waited a few months before taking action toward reemployment as February, March, April and May had visitors dropping by. Most importantly some were family we hadn't seen in many years. And the ones who weren't family members were very close friends that felt to us like family. First there was a newly wed couple from our home town in New Hampshire. He was a new acquaintance for us while she was a close friend whom we discipled in her spiritual walk since 1979. Her husband passed a few years ago and now she remarried. The next was my wife's older sister and her husband. We usually see them every time they come to Florida from New Hampshire as their daughter lives near Tampa. We are all getting older so it's good to reconnect w...

Monday Morning Blog 4-4-2011

Woke to a cool dry morning and drove family to destinations, visited with a neighbor then Kathy and I got ready to drive to Bristol for her ladies gathering at AGF at 10am. As we went outdoors the cool dry morning was now changed to a snowy, windy colder late morning. It's nearly noon now and the snow seemingly is ready to turn to rain. I am reminded that we are in Northern New England. Weather we can't control, mind input we can. As I write, I am at a public diner where I had a nice breakfast and I'm still sipping coffee. There is activity all over the place here. People coming and going, oldies playing on the radio, phones ringing and even a bit ago some of the staff were chasing a loose dog around (who was finally lured into the office by the owner!). In similiar situations like this, I recall times when people and conversations I heard could cause my mind to wander ... drift toward unhealthy thinking for a Christ-follower. Paul exhorted the Philippian believers to ...
