VERY "SLEEK & GREEK"...wonderful!! I LOVE this idea. It's about TIME we got this all together. Thanks to ALL of you involved (ESP. DISBUG!!!) in this great idea.
*Another day in the MAGIC...and time is winding down. One more eve to go...and we're off! DD begins school Tuesday (Orientation & school pics only...plus buying books $$$$...argh!). Wednesday and thursday are "half-days"...giving her much-needed time to acclimate. We actually extended this trip a bit past where we WOULD have been going home. Felt we needed it after all the changes in travel (8 times). So...we literally RELAXED at the Dolphin. It's been one of the BEST summers ever.
*We missed a shark attack at home in Avila Beach (just past Pismo in Morro Bay). We frequent this beach, but NEVER swim when there are Seals or Sea Lions present. I know these are the preferred food of the White. The one which attacked this professor was between 15-18 feet in length. Very sad...and a case of mistaken identity.
*Mom Poppins...the Good Lord never gives you more than you can handle. This is why he sent such a "precious" and special child as "Rachel" to you and your husband, (for he and he alone knew the demands of raising such a child, and the conflicts which would arise). Apparently, you and your husband are perfectly suited to overcome any of these obstacles/situations with your fierce love and determination. You are the protective force which guards over this sweet soul. You must stand strong in the face of adversity, and gift Rachel with the powers and strength to guide her for the rest of her life (by your example). You and your husband are her HEROES...her CHAMPIONS. What better point of praise, and reflection of the dedicated, devoted and nurturing parents you truly are, (than to be selected for the task). The path to righteousness is littered with such trials. Bless you, for the fabric of "family" you continue to weave, and the distinct pattern you can proudly call your own. Everyone has their own ideas of FAMILY, (which includes strife & struggle), until we meet someone like you. Thank you, for always sharing your "in's & out's" with all of us. I'm a better person, simply reading your posts. Okay...time to hop off the soap box. XOXO
*I'll post more later...and as I've been promising for weeks~write DETAILED posts of our days in the MAGIC, on the WONDER, and in KEY WEST...etc.!
TTFN....
