We really do Give Thanks!


To say Life is busy is an understatement! (Exciting times!)
It all started when Teddy and Teresa had an opportunity to rent out their Ft. Lauderale Condo (a matter of prayer for some time- and when God answered, they had to move fast!) Did I say move? Oh, yeah, they moved- INTO OUR HOUSE! So that meant relocating Bonnie to the smaller room, getting the bigger room ready for them and emptying out the littlest room for our littlest (soon!) grandbaby. (Kathryn Reese is due in January). So that meant prep on Monday, move on Tuesday.
Wednesday Jamie and Josh arrived for the holiday weekend.
Thursday we joined the larger Cook/Wyrick clan for dinner at Carol's (God provided in that little detail, too!- My kitchen was full of boxes to merge into my already crowded pantry!- and who's cleaned around here? Not me! :))


Friday was for Wedding Dress shopping (she found one!)- Then an evening sail (of course!)- on a Chamber of Commerce Day- with fresh grilled Wahoo for dinner, and choclate eclairs for dessert. We really are blessed.






Ted, Bonnie and I all had to work on Saturday- while Jamie and Josh had an appointment with their wedding photographer for an "engagement session"(and a quick visit to Ted at the Station and to briefly see Teddy in a volleyball tournament)- by the way, Teddy came in second!
Now it's Sunday evening- the J's left early this morning, the T's have been hanging w/church friends all day, Bonnie's working, and it's quiet for now. Wonder when they'll all get home?
Like I said, this is kind of fun!
We sorely missed Kailee, David and Avery- she's feeling very pregnant- waiting for Kinley to arrive- and hoping she's early! (she's due on the 16th- we plan on going up on the 12th unless we get an earlier phone call!)
So that's the week in a nutshell! Our life in a nutsell! (nuthouse?- maybe! ;)
And for this we are very thankful!

Happy B-Day to my Sweetheart!


53 isn't so old!


(especially when you think you're 30.)


But I'm glad for all the things that 53 brings...grandbabies and a new mellowness and a nice boat and retirement soon and wisdom and maturity and not making me sneak into sporting events any more... the list could go on and on...

He is my Captain- and I remain his faithful admiral.
