Seashells by the seashore



Over the week-end Hunter and I went to Gulf Shores, Alabama to visit my sister and her husband, Marlene and Greg, who are spending the coming week there in a condo. We thoroughly enjoyed our time walking along the beautiful white sand beach. Marlene teaches first grade and plans to return to her class with "little treasures". So we helped her pick up these treasures as they washed upon the shore. Shells are always special! We also played some cards and hiked a sandy trail near a fresh water lake. The weather continued to "shine" with cool ocean breezes, full sun, and temps in the 70s.

We won't be as fortunate with the warm weather next week as we are heading north. Wednesday we leave our project in Florida and head to North Carolina where we will drop off the motor home at the dealership for more repairs then drive our Toyota Scion on to Chicago. Our good friend's daughter is having her wedding reception at the Garfield Conservatory on Friday night. From there we will travel to Iowa for hunting season and time to visit with friends and family in the Quad Cities and Minnesota. I will be packing my winter coat and leaving the shorts behind!

We are looking forward to our next MMAP project in Alabama in December.
