His honesty made us a customer
Peter Hoe Adventure
I loved the sleeping guard
Peering at images like these on a weekly basis
Looking for our son, made me think
Exercise Adventure
Though, I wasn't very happy about it
Thank you Heidi for the doll
It came in handy
Ha! Ha!
(lighten up...it is funny)
So is this...
I could totally relate to the gentleman above
See...
I felt discouraged in my "Exercise Adventure" for a long time
Then I would look around our flat and see the sweet images of HOME
This is where I get my inspiration
BEFORE I KNEW IT, IT WAS...
August 17th, 2014
I survived my 1st month away from our kids and grand-daughters
Later that evening...
I was walking hunched over, stiff from my work outs,
I had two inches of gray hair and I was as red as the lobster below
(no sunscreen & being so close to the equator = poor planning)
I was a HOT MESS... not in a good way
So, I sat out to fix what I could
Hair Colored....DONE!
Another Birthday Adventure

NOT IDEAL, but it works for now

Our only communication with our son has been through letters
To those who have written Kenny, he wanted us to pass on a THANK YOU
He wrote that it meant a lot to him
Another Marine Adventure
Soon, our Morgan will begin his own Marine bootcamp journey
Please keep Morgan, Madi and Mia in your thoughts and prayers
Morgan will need to focus on the task at hand....boot camp and becoming a Marine
Though Madi will have her sister, brother in law, niece, grandparents & friends
It will be hard for her to be away from her husband, her parents & her brother
THIS FAMILY IS COURAGEOUS
