Another day in almost "Paradise"

AHHH…..another day in almost Paradise!!!!! Coffee……French Roast, of course……was enjoyed by this aging, red-faced old man under the awning, sitting in a wonderful warm breeze on the patio that sits at the bottom of the steps as you descend from TheHowserHouse. I am beginning to recognize and know several of the others that are camped here in the Navarre Beach Campground…….and oftentimes they will stop by and chat during the mornings.

The two oldest girls were up and quietly playing when the rest of us woke up…..and not tooooo early. Soooo, after my coffee…….we decided to remain here and enjoy the wonderful pool which sits under several Floridian palm trees only about 75 steps from TheHowserHouse. Yesterday while at the beach we were all “attacked” by small stinging “bites”……..could see nothing on us, however, Dr. Jeni did see something very tiny on her arms with a small red dot inside it. Then later as I took the girls on a sea shell hunt along the edge of the surf, I saw many small little jelly like dots………very much like the type of body a jelly fish has. Sooooo, we surmised that it was something related to jelly fish…???? Anyway…..the girls wanted to just enjoy the pool today and not be subject to the bitings which we received yesterday, but which didn’t last more than a few minutes each time.

Soooo, that is what we did today. Just a relaxing day………which seemed to pass very quickly!!!!!! I had hoped to get to visit with my Lufkin, Texas blog reader but he did get away from here early this morning. Soooo, when you read this…….leave me a comment and how to reach you……ok????

After an afternoon of sun at the pool, I quickly rushed out to the Publix Super Market and grabbed some thick pork chops to grill. Came home…….got the grill going….and enjoyed some dark red medicine which I haven’t taken for some time lately!!!! My heart surely must be suffering for this lack of attention!!!!!

Then after dinner on the patio, we all hurried and scurried around helping Dr. Jeni to get ALL of her and their many things together to leave for Missouri this evening. It is always easier for her to drive during the evening hours so the girls will sleep most of the time. I made reservations for her at a hotel in Jackson, MS for tonight so she wouldn’t have to search out a room by herself around midnight with three little sleeping girls in the car.

After their departure, the 1st Lady and straightened up TheHowserHouse……storing the toys, the beach equipment, and doing a bit of cleaning. Then we took a stroll just after sunset down to the bay at the edge of the park……and walked out onto the pier to enjoy the early evening breezes and the almost full moon. AHHHH……how quiet it was out there……and even quieter here at TheHowserHouse when we returned. The constant activity and hyped up young granddaughters has evolved into peace and quiet.

Sooooo, now it is time for an hour or so or tellie…..or reading a good book for a change. We have two more days before we leave…….and many things we want to do before we start north on Sunday morning.

And as always………

Life is GREAT…….and I hope it is for all of you, also!!!
