Received word on our van. It is a bad water pump. I describe it as analygous to being 75 years old and receiving word you have cancer but you’re not going to die. The bad news is that it will be very expensive and you will feel really bad. Also there is no guarantee that you won’t die from something else shortly. But, as my son-in-law reminded me, it is only a couple of months car payment.
It has been several days since I have posted and there are several things I want to share from our trip so far. We spent Friday night at my Aunt Imogene’s. The highlight of the evening was the AMAZING CORNDOG. Jerry’s dog, Lucy loves fresh corn. She will go into the garden and pull an ear, shuck it and eat the kernals. There appears to be no end to her appetite.
Saturday morning we had breakfast and headed to Destin Florida. Everyone made it safely and we are enjoying our stay. Saturday was Jerod’s birthday so we got to celebrate with him. Our van has a problem which is yet to be diagnosed. It could be fatal. I’ll hear tomorrow. The beach is spectacularly beautiful. Sunday morning we had a charter fishing trip planned. We got up at 5:00am and headed out at 6:00am but the seas were so rough that we came back in and re-scheduled for Friday am. I was disappointed because Carter and Lori will be leaving Tuesday and they were planning on fishing. Most of our days have been at the beach. The kids are doing really well and having a great time. This is prime vacation time here so there are lots of people and traffic. Here are some pictures:
It is a beautiful cool morning as I sit outside on the Arnett’s patio. I have enjoyed the time here. Especially visiting with friends and relatives. What lectures we attended have been good. Lipscomb University is in the midst of a major construction project but the campus is beautiful despite that distraction. Today we are traveling to Alabama and a visit with Aunt Imogene, Jerry and Kelsey.
