Okay, we are staying at The Homewood Suites by Hilton. This is where we have our free breakfast for these next few days. Okay Jeanne leaves me around 7:45 am to be at school by 8am. That is when her classes start, she will be there until around 5pm.
Meanwhile, yesterday, one of Jeanne's sandals broke. We try to be ready when something like that might happen. So, we brought another pair from home.
Okay, now I have a mission, to buy some glue to repair her sandal.
So, I just started walking around this huge outdoor mall.
I ended up at Micheal's and bought some super glue for rubber soles. I just kept on walking and site seeing.
This is our hotel for this stay.
I think I was using the stairs to stretch my knee a little. I did that here and the other one we stayed in Orlando. You can see the pool and it's empty and I think I changed into my swim suite and went swimming for the rest of the day.
This closes out our second day here.
I was texting Debbie (my cousin). Her and her family plus another cousin Greg lives in Largo, Florida.
So, I drove up to see them. I just got on 75 north to 275 north and this is the Skyline Bridge ahead of me. Many years ago, was driving over this bridge, with my second wife (Carma). As I got to the top of the bridge, Carma tells me that I am pale white and am I okay? I didn't say a word. I was scared and just drove over and we made it. Ever since that time I have always had those words in my head and start praying asking the Lord to help over this bridge.
Which you can see I made it, and I will be driving back over this to get back to our hotel in Sarasota.
I got to Debbie and Jon's home, and we hung out for a hour or so. Meanwhile, Debbie called her sister Joyce and asked her if she would like to go out to lunch with us? She told her she would be there in about hour or so. She showed up and we all piled into Debbie and Jon's brand-new Buick SUV. Jon drove us to the Olive Graden right down the road form where they live. I told Debbie on the way there; I haven't been to an Olive Graden for many years. She said she knew that and that is why we are going there. I thought that was very nice of her.
Just something funny happen just now. My wife Jeanne just was telling me, right now. That Debbie just put on Facebook the same picture and a small in note about our time with them.
Now that is a God thing. We did have a wonderful time to get caught up and I got back into Jeanne's Kia and started back to the hotel.
You can see the bridge just ahead of this picture and I did make is over and all went well. It really is nice to send time with family and just tell stories about our past and just see each other.
I guess I got back to the hotel and Jeanne wasn't home yet. The reason is Tersa (Jeanne's ride) Tersa wanted to do some shopping while here in Sarasota. So, Jeanne told me before she left this morning about the shopping time. She made it back and just ate something she brought back from the school for our dinner.
The next morning, we ate breakfast, then Jeanne and Tresa went to the school, and I stayed at the hotel and ate a bowl of oatmeal and drink some good, tasty coffee. Plus did my devotion time reading7 Nehemiah chapters 6 and 7.
This being our last day here. Jeanne and I packed up pretty much everything that we brought with us. This morning after breakfast, I washed all of our clothes.
So, after that I just put all the clean clothes in the red bag and still have to repack for our next trip.
Jeanne will be getting out of class around noontime. So, i just packed everything in the Kia and drove over to the school and repacked. So, when Jeanne comes out we are ready for our three vacation.
That is why the hack back is open, and bags are on the ground. I got everything Jeanne asked me to pack and ready to go.
Now she got out a little later than we planned. But got on the road and started heading north to drive to Tampa, Terminal #6 where the Margaritaville at Sea will be waiting there for us.
Just to give you a heads up, we made and were on our way. I will share more in the next couple of blogs.
My wife has been keeping me updated on the flooding that is happening in Texas as I am writing.
Please keep the families and friends that are still dealing with the rain and flooding that is still happening, IN PRAYER AND KEEPING EVERYONE SAFE.
Heavy rain pouring over parts of central Texas, dumping more than a month's worth of rain in some places killing at least 78 people, including 28 children according to officials.
PLEASE KEEP EVERYONE IN PRAYER.
