After all the craziness of the week before, and the fact that our Internet was not working properly, I had to leave you all hanging yet again.  I was hoping for wireless at our beach house this year but it just didn’t happen.  So, fear not, I am still around just rejuvenated from a week at my favorite beach, some quality family time with Hubby and the kids and a visit from my youngest Sister who lives in Charlotte, NC.

There was a little bitter-sweetness to our trip this year because  my Uncle (In-Law) who has welcomed us year after year into his home while we trek to the beach was in the hospital.  He went in for surgery before we left and complication after complication has kept him in intensive care.  I was able to visit and tell him how much we love him and pray for a full recovery.  And my Aunt who would never say no to a visit had some peach pie ready and waiting along with the pecan and blueberry pie and chocolate rocky road cake (for Hubby who doesn’t like pie as much).

We did make a major decision this year and one that I am more than happy to accommodate, we have decided to go for two weeks next year.  Hooray!!!  We are already planning and looking forward to our return.

I will leave you with a photo of my Sister and I on the beach, note the umbrella with the Canadian Maple leaves in the background, yes that is our umbrella.  And as much as it was fun to be away, it is always great to come home.
