Summer Visitors!

I was delighted to host two of my best friends from Virginia at the end of July!

We headed down to the coast (about an hour from here), and took a ferry across the water to the other side.  We even saw dolphins, but they were too quick for a picture!

As I had celebrated my birthday earlier in the month, they treated me to a mani-pedi

AND one was a HUGE BLESSING as I received 2 crates of peaches while they were here, and she helped with the freezing process!

My hubby helped, too

I also got a chance to spend an afternoon with my parents the week after my birthday when they came to my hotel for a short visit.

Another Hellfighter Event

In July, we went to celebrate the commissioning of a new Hellfighter.

We also got to meet his twin grandbabies, miracles that they lived through their mama's complicated pregnancy.  We prayed for these tow little people A LOT!

One of the best things about being HF supporters. . .what a great group of prayer warriors!

The wonderful guy commissioned and his family.

Facing Fears

On the morning of July 4th, I finally faced my fears, and got into a kayak on Lake Houston.

Since my hubby has been trying since we started dating for me to do so, he was thrilled.

It was a beautiful morning, not too hot yet because we started @ 0730

Our dear friends had MUCH patience with us as we were both beginners and they are seasoned veterans at this kayak stuff

Although my hubby did have a mishap and fell in the lake, and then had to be towed home (and me a bit at the end, too), it was a great day

At the end, hubby got to try out a kayak that is NOT second hand and NOT trying to tip you every stroke!  He liked it a LOT BETTER!
