“You are going to feel like hell if you never write the stuff that is tugging on the sleeves of your heart — your stories, visions, memories, visions and songs. Your truth, your version of things, your own voice. That is really all you have to offer us. And that’s also why you were born.”

Florida

redflowers.jpgorandeflowers.jpgWe made it to Florida just fine. The weather is warm and the breeze is gentle this morning. Flowers are blooming and the manatees are playing. We spent yesterday afternoon getting the house in order. Still a ways to go but we have plenty of time.

I need to catch up a little on what has been going on. We had a noteable event with Blake losing a tooth. It wasn’t his first but the dentist pulled the first one. Mimi pulled this one and he was proud.

We visited with the Arnett’s and Watson’s in Nashville. Also, we attended the wedding of Sara Black and Brandon Craddock. It was beautiful event in every way.

On the Road

Ann and I are on I-75 about 181 miles from Valdosta. We have not decided to stop there or drive further today. We will get there about 4:30pm so there is time to get closer to Florida. It will depend on how we feel when we get to Valdosta.

We have had an enjoyable last few days. We have been in Nashville for Sara Black’s wedding. We stayed with Ann’s sister Linda and her husband Jim. They are great hosts and we had good food and visits. We spent some time with Ann’s brother Lawrence and his family as well as the Crockett’s who were also in Nashville for the wedding.

The wedding was wonderful. Sara’s father, Mark, performed the ceremony. It was very personal and touching. I look forward to a time when we will be able to visit with Mark and Margo and catch up on each other’s lives. They are good people.

Santa Made It

Despite my behavior this past year, Santa graciously brought me gifts. I got a satellite radio and some jeans. Mom and Dad Watson sent a very nice shirt and some good books. It is a beautiful cold, sunny day and we are looking forward to a special day.
