I keep saying I must post a picture of our mango tree... before the parrots eat all the mangoes! It's never been this full of fruit before. I foresee lots of smoothies in our future!



And while I'm at it, have you ever seen bananas beginning?





I love living in the tropics! (except for at noon on a Summer Saturday!)

Summer at the Cook House

e



Oh my! It's been a while since I've posted... Let's see...where have we been? Well, mid-June we spent a fun weekend at Lake Lanier with friends from college days- thanks, Flo and Shan for sharing your "little cabin" with us. It was so good to reconnect with the Callens, Florences, Geenwoods and McCowns.

Then Kailee and Avery were here for the 4th of July, and we had the Cook/Wyrick clan over for dinner and the amazing neighborhood fireworks display. David couldn't get away from work, so we missed seeing him- but had a great week with "the girls".


Bonnie's home... working at Rick Case Powersports, and enjoying the local "mudding" spots. She's happiest when she's out in the everglades or on a dive boat- and glad to be back in South FL where both are close. We don't see much of her- her work schedule is kind of opposite of ours- but it's good to have her home. She'll be traveling up to Tallahassee next weekend to get her stuff moved back here- I know she'd appreciate your prayers for "traveling mercies" as she's not looking forward to the long drive and quick turn-around... and packing!

And I just got back from spending a week at Middle School Camp with the kids from St. A. It was great fun- made me miss my Student Ministries days...also made me realize I'm getting older! Middle Schoolers have a lot of energy! I'm glad they were the ones in the Dodgeball competitions and Box Soccer games... but I can still run a mean go-cart race! Hah! It was a blast. Also good to see Jamie, who was able to come visit on Thursday. (Her church youth group was there, and she works for the youth pastor, so she came down with his wife to spend the day.)

And now we're home for a week or so till we head up to Family Reunion... Can't wait!
