Home Sweet Home

On Monday, Stroker took on the task of driving us all back home. We arrived back around 6 pm. Worn out and sun burnt, we managed to unpack the car and start laundry. I don’t know what got into Stroker, but he tore into mowing the lawn when we got home.

We all spent Tuesday sleeping in and lounging around the house. We had a good time at the beach, but the traveling had caught up with us.

Wednesday, we were still tired, but had to get back to our normal routines. After church Wednesday evening, we joined Debi, Sterl, Lee and Judy for dinner at IHOP. Sterl was in shock that Devin showed up to join us.

Brookelynn vacuumed out my car for me today. I had to go back to visit Dr. Boston because my crown has been driving me crazy since the day that he put it in. Turns out that I am stuck with it. Dr. Boston wanted to re-drill the tooth behind the crown and fill in the gap with filling rather than ordering a new crown that fits properly.  Him drilling on my teeth is what started this entire ordeal. No thank you Dr. Boston, you will not be drilling my teeth anymore.

Sunburn Central

When we woke up this morning, Darlene, Brookelynn and I took a two mile walk up the beach. It was a great walk; however, I didn’t apply sun block like I was supposed to. It was another great beach day. Although I spent the day under the umbrella, except for the morning walk, I was lobster red when we went in this evening.

This is Crab Island in Destin

Beach Bum

I spent another day of my life as a beach bum today. It was great until we came in this evening and I noticed that some sun made its way past my sun block.  The situation isn't too bad. Just a light burn.

We had dinner at a new place tonight. Pompano Joe’s. I think it is my favorite so far. Brookelynn loved her twice baked potato.

We are running low on supplies at the condo so we made a run to Wal-Mart and made a pit stop at Krispy Kreme before heading back.

The full moon tonight was breathtaking. It lit up the entire beach.

Early to Rise

It was 2am when the alarm went off. I felt like I had just closed my eyes.  We loaded up the car and set out south bound. We arrived at Ft. Walton at 10 am and headed straight out to the beach after getting the car unpacked.

We spent most of the day on the beach. I made sure to use plenty of sunscreen. This evening, we went to dinner with Darlene, Gary and the kids at “The Crab Shack”.  It was good, although we are not big seafood eaters. We took a night stroll on the beach and Devin spotted a jellyfish, crabs the size of hamburgers and a sting ray.

Peaceful Travels

Today the kids left with Darlene and Gary in route to Fort Walton Beach Fl. We are in for a peaceful journey later tonight. We spent the evening finishing up our packing and got in bed by 10:20 pm.

Let's Pack It Up

Briana had a graduation cook-out in celebration of her accomplishment on Sunday. We spent the majority of the day there other than the time we went to church. The weather has not warmed up like normal this year yet, so the only souls that would brave the pool was the kids. Intermittent rain showers tried to hinder the days events too.

Stroker and I spent Monday running around town and at home attempting to complete more tasks. We both received a text around 9am from church that John Morgan had passed away. We were both a bit confused at first. We thought maybe we read it wrong and that it meant to say his grandmother passed away. I called Debi to find out that the text was correct. John's mother had discovered him early Monday morning. John was only 36 years old. He used to sit with us at Bible study on Wednesday evenings.

Tuesday, May 21st was the last day of school for Brookelynn. Last Friday was Devin's final day. As I picked Brookelynn up in the "car rider" line, she had a look of "Thank goodness it's over" on her face.

To celebrate the last day of 5th grade, Treasure came over for a sleepover. Those girls giggled and ate half the night.
Today, Brookelynn and Treasure finished up the food that was left in the house. We gave Treasure a ride back home that evening. We opted for Logan’s again for dinner before church. When we returned home from church, Stroker took in to packing up for beach.
