Michigan Bound

This is Abby as she was just out of the pool.. Very pretty for 15 and just as nice!! also smart as she tells us alot about Bible, Science, English and History!!

Tabitha took us to ' The Wedding Singer " last week at Broadway Palms.. She has been there several times...

Abby and I at the dinner... Not a good picture of me.. Maybe because I was sitting so close to a 15 year old!! We have been very busy packing the m.h. with all the things we may need for a summer in Michigan and 2-3 months out West before we get back to the Cape..... Tim thinks I have too many clothes!!! It has been VERY HOT here .... 90* every day!! Michigan ,here we come!!!

Our last week in Florida!!!

It has been over a week since I have blogged... We have been busy but still finding time to swim and tan. We leave for Michigan on Saturday so we have alot we still want to get complete. On Thursday we attended the Dinner show at Broadway Palms..on Friday we had company for supper and a good visit. On Saturday, we attended our grandchildren 'King's Kids Jamboree.'.. WOW!!! Were we proud!! Our 2 grand daughters won lots of ribbons and 1st place in Bible story telling!!! Sarah placed great in a scripture memory 'bee' and was up against 2 6th graders.. She is in 2nd.. Tim and I were really happy with their performance... I got to go shopping at 'Bon Worth's' and got 9 new pieces of clothing ... a whole new wardrobe to wear to Tim's 50th HS Reunion next week. Kari and Andrea are both doing good. Baby weighs 2#4oz. now.... and is 4 weeks old.... Today we are babysitting the 4 grand kids again. ( actually Abby does all the work ). Grandpa and I are just here... Mark and Tab took a few days off from their busy demanding schedule to fly to New York City... They missed their plane from Ft Lauderdale this morning as the roads going over are closed because of the fires. So they had to go ' Alligator Alley' and drive slow. They are suppose to take off at noon. Hope they make that flight as they have tickets for the 'Dave Letterman' show today at 5:00.. will be aired on Friday....Pray your weather has really turned to spring and you are enjoying God's great world!!!

Busy days in Florida

I have been practicing the keyboard and my autoharp more lately. Sometimes I let it go for weeks. The weather is in the 80*'s EVERY day so I also spend alot of time in the pool!! We are planning to leave Florida on Saturday before Mother's Day and take 3 days driving the m.h. to Michigan. Tim has a 50 Year Reunion from Spring Arbor High School and then north to see kids and grandkids and Dr. appointments... Abby has been gone for 3 days visiting her aunt and uncle in Port Charlotte.. just north of here... Sunday we start babysitting Mark's 4 kids as they are going to Daytona Beach for a few days of business....Tim has finally finished with the HUGE roof... only had help 2 times....Now he is finishing putting the gates up to a chain link fence he installed in our back yard..Kari and Andrea are both doing good!!! Kari is at Ronald McDonald House.... Andrea has gained a few ounces....PRAISE GOD!!!!

Abby!!!

This is our lovely granddaughter Abby who is visiting from Michigan .... We went to the FleaMaster's market yesterday and she saw these tiny bananas... we just had to buy them.... only about 2 bites. We are planning to go to a dinner show at Broadway Palms.. Should be fun.. Will post more later.. Kari is out of the hospital but takes a shuttle bus and goes back every day to see Andrea... Thank You for praying.. Please continue... God is good!!!

Update on Kari and Andrea...

We are thanking the Lord for alot of answers so far for prayers... Kari is feeling alot better and MAY be released from the hospital today. She plans to stay in the Ronald McDonald House for months (? ) Andrea had heart surgery on Wednesday to fix a heart valve and so far is doing good... Please pray for her to be able to be taken off the breathing machine as being on too long can cause further damage... Kristy went home yesterday after 10 long days.... Kari's oldest daughter Abby flew down on Monday eve. to visit with us ... We are really enjoying her already and we have not even gone shopping, eating out, plays, dinner theater, church, movies or to the flea market... all in good time. She is doing homeschool A Beka so will not have to miss school.... Bible and Math ( guess what Tim taught...) and PE.. ( Did I mention ... the pool? ) She will stay with us until when we head back to Michigan in May.... Keep praying!! THANKS!!!!
