On the road again---





I am so blessed today! How many people get to spend the day with a parent on their 93rd birthday! As an added blessing, Mother is able to travel with me to see Jennie and family in the Houston area! We spent last night in Daphne AL, just across the bay from Mobile. After checking in to the hotel, we found the parking lot of a birding trail overlooking the bay. Last trip we had seen a large alligator sunning himself on a canal bank in South Carolina. Mother had commented that we couldn't go home this trip without seeing another alligator. Well, we found that one last night! He was another large one. I suspect people from the restaurant on the shore feed him, as he seemed unaffected by people nearby.




Thank you, Lord, for the mother that I have had and the good example she is to me. She's a hard act to follow. Today I truly "rise up and call her blessed." Proverbs 31:10-31

Ms. Lucy, so glad you're having another wonderful trip with your mother. And thank you for passing your mother's example on not only to your daughters but to all of your "adopted daughters" at church. Love you & miss you but are so glad you're enjoying this time to travel. Give Jennie & family a big hug from all of us!
