A DAY AT THE BEACH!
South Beach Miami has the coolest palms...
and scrumptious eats offered at numerous pricey sidewalk cafes.
I'm kinda in a rut - I can't resist coconut shrimp!
Having grown up near the chilly, windy, rainy NW coast
I still marvel at the warm water and nearby high-rises.
Often there is more skin than one cares to see, but we are polite
and don't film that, trying to avert our eyes.
We live on a string of 5 lakes named the hammocks.
I adore walking around one or two of them several days a week.
My momma worries that the gators will come after me.
A western friend cautions me to beware the boas that are slithering loose.
In the everglades, yes.
But gratefully I have yet to see either on my walks.
(plenty of ducks and lizards)
We have a nineteen year old family photo sitting inside this frame.
That is obsolete, but I can't get rid of it. Instead I carefully taped
this map over it and added some of our favorite travel pics.
It now hangs in Lane's office.
Oh, and the most shocking news of the month...or year:
I am teaching an early morning seminary class.
5:50 a.m. to 6:40 a.m. in my living room...or around my dining room table.
7 students registered, 8 showed up. 2 more came the second week.
It's a great group of 10 amazing teenagers.
To showcase our seminary facility we invited the bishop
and his family for a 6 foot banana split. He will be subbing
for me while we travel to Utah in September.
Our second outing this month was to the nearby...
There were real animals too. But climbing on them is frowned upon.
No doubt, the best news this month is that our dear friend and neighbor
in the Philippines, Syrill was baptized. She is the baby of four
yet the first to go to college and now a pioneer in the Church.
We love you Syrill!
