Today began with going with Dave to the chiropractor; so he could get adjusted. Then off to a lovely breakfast at Cracker Barrel. After breakfast, we stopped at Saw Grass Lake Park and spent a little over an hour there. We walked the entire time and I think we covered the whole park! It was a very warm Florida day (as its supposed to be now that we are in the middle of May), but the breeze helped refresh us now and again. Tons of dragonflies there! I tried to take a picture but none of them would let me get close enough with my cell phone to snap a proper picture of them.
We did see an alligator in the water, a few squirrels and there were many birds out too. They also have a momma owl who has a nest with a chick in the trees near the main education station. It is amazing how much better one feels after a good walk in the good ole outdoors. This time together was so dear to me, we don't get to do this very often, but I do hope we can maybe make this more of a habit and explore all the county parks.
Hope you all had a terrific Saturday! God Bless!

Crazy, Amazing Day
Today's post will be brief. I've been awake for over 32 hours.
Today was full of the joys of friendship, reminders of God's love, and the craziness of daily life when an international package goes missing and yet, the man at the package place was so kind and dear that there is no anger.
Joys of friendship:
- I made it to Bible Study today and got refreshed with the fellowship of the lovely ladies.
- My dear friend, Donna, started back to work today and had an amazing day, I am so filled with joy for her. You know her as The Obnoxious S.A.H.M and you can read about the start of her new adventure.
- During my morning walk, the beauty of nature once again overwhelmed me. If I can, tomorrow I will try to capture some pics for you. There was a lovely tree with fern-like branches and tiny flowers emerging, amazing white and grey birds with red eyes, kind of short and stubby, and some other things that my sleep deprivation is not letting me remember
- More dragonflies today! :D
- After the craziness of the package coming to light, as I headed to my car, there was a small, bright shiny blue iridescent flying bug that brought a smiley to my face with its shimmery-ness.
- A kind customer service guy who helped track down the package and hopefully it will reach my dad by Monday the latest.
Well, goodnight friends. The yawns are taking over, eyelids are getting heavy, and I'd better move before I fall asleep sitting here.
