Gone Campin

Here's the new travel trailer. We are so nuts about our new toy that we hang out in it at home in the driveway. We went to Wind Creek for our first "real " trip.The dogs loved it and the smores were sooooooo yummy.Next trip, Shrimp Festival Gulf Shores Alabama.

We are part of a supper club group. We didn't give the group an official name , but our "unofficial" name is the "Couga Saws". Ross and Cindy created this. Members , Cindy and Dick (Nic), Ross and Samantha (Woman), and us John (Al) and Brenda. More later.

Easter at Tracy and Johnnys

We had a wonderful day, and got to spend time with lots of family.Brooke's family was missed but we had them in our hearts.

Valentines Day

WE celebrated our love for each other at home with a very romantic dinner. We like to go out for dinner often, but it seems like the wait on Valentines Day gets longer each year. We enjoyed a candlelit dinner and had a great evening. We started with a soup and salad with a Japanese Honey dressing, followed by a stir fried sweet and sour pork, and chicken fried rice. Dinner was topped off with a chocolate and Kahalua fondue. Brownies, strawberries and marshmellows were our favorite. xoxoxoxo

Turts is okay

WE adopted Brock's pet turtle "Turts". He out grew his bowl. At Christmas time he started his new life in our garden pond. We were a little concerned after the weather turned very cold, but are happy to report a turtle siting during a spring pond cleaning.

visiting the kids

We have traveled to Tallahassee to see our daughter and son in law , and to kiss and hug the stuffins out of our boys.Brock is very busy in sports now( Soccer and Basketball.)We all attended both games .Todd is an excellent coach, and the rest in the group are the loud and roughty fans!
Jake is most happy digging deeply into a mini box of raisins, but does clap with glee when the crowd does.We had big plans to help with their shower door installation, but had to reorder another one. The visit was wonderful and we hope to go again soon.Bella and Daisy came as well and played so much that they slept the whole way home.

I do

We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary on January 21, 2008.Wow It seems like yesterday that we were 17 and 19 and walking down the isle of Vinesville Baptist Church. It was snowing that weekend and the city was in shutdown mode.We were very much in love, but not as much as today. We celebrated our anniversary in Hawaii last August. We flew to Honoloulou and boarded the Pride of Hawaii. Our ports of call were Kona for scuba diving , Kona coffee, and a memorable stop at the sea horse farm. Maui was beautiful. While driving up the northwest coast we came upon a beautiful beach that was a popular spot for snorkling. The weather was rough, but we were determined to see Hawaii underwater. We spotted what can only be described as a sea snake slithering along the ocean floor. Then there were more. After what seemed like an eternity we made it to shore. Breathless and hearts pounding we laughed at the craziness, That night we enjoyed a luau at the Old Lahania Luau. Diving at Molikini was the highlight of our diving trips. Molikini Crater is actually a sunken Volcano off shore in Maui. We enjoyed the National Volcano Park in Hilo and our last stop was Kauai. The View from above was breathtaking. Our favorite thing in Hawaii???.........Oh of course, the Chickens . They are literally running loose everywhere. Rumor is, a Hurricane once freed them! Back in Honoloulou before flying home we toured Pearl Harbor and saw a bit of the city.
