Today we have been married 46 years. I do not know where the years have gone. We got married
in 1967. Jim was in the Marines and we married before he was shipped out to Vietnam.I guess I
can say I was a war bride.
I am thankful for all our years together. We went thru some hard times but I guess the good times
out did the bad, because we are still together.
Marriage is hard work but worth it. We have been blessed with 3 daughters and 10 grandsons and
2 granddaughters. January of this year we celebrated the birth of our first great grandchild Nicolas who
joined our step great grandchild Derek.
As we celebrate this milestone I give thanks to God above for our blessings and his protection of
our lives thru these years.
Until next time
God Bless

Activities on Vacation
We had so many good days of almost doing nothing.
We slept late and got up and went out to get something to eat. Just being able to sit and do
nothing or go do whatever. It was the best.
We were able to go see three movies while in Florida. That was a treat. My husband loves
to go to the movies but I am not always able to go because of someone having to stay with my
Mama.
We went to see Star Trek Into the Darkness. I really liked it but we are "Trekkies"
Ironman 3 was the best of the three in my opinion and Robert Downey looked great.
Today we went and saw Fast and Furious 6 and it was AWESOME. It was one of those
movies that had the audience clapping,laughing really getting in to the movie. It left you
with a teaser for the next installament # 7. I think if you get to see it you will really enjoy
it.
I have also been using my Kindle Fire ordering a few books and loving every minute of it.
Of course right now I am into books and stories about dogs.I have read some good ones.
I will tell you about them in another blog
Until next time
God Bless

End of Vacation
Our two weeks has come to an end and we travel back to the real world tomorrow. It will be good
to see the family and my dogs. But after a couple of days I will be ready to go again. I don't have
any plans for the summer at this point in time.
We visited Magic Kingdom for a day and it was fun but was cut short by afternoon rain. You really
need more than one day for each park as there is so much to do.
This resort is beautiful and we have really enjoyed staying here. I will miss my walk across the bridge
to the ice cream store every evening.
Pray for our safety as we travel back home to North Carolina.
God Bless

MAY 18TH FLORIDA
We arrived at the Marriott Grande Vista Resort for our last days of vacation. It is beautiful.
We have a view of the lake with fountains so I am sitting on the balcony enjoying the warm
breeze and the sound of water. The grounds make you feel as if you are in a tropical paradise.
Palm trees, cover walkways, indoor courtyard with more fountains.
I am sharing a few photos.
God Bless
Until next time

Animal Kingdom
We visited Animal Kingdom on Wednesday and it was very interesting. The grounds made you feel like you where in a jungle,
We went on a safari thru the back country, thru water, over water, mud and etc. Very realistic and bumpy. We saw rhino's which are on the endangered list being killed for their horns. The elephants
being killed for their ivory. I am very grateful for what Disney does for animal conservation.
Flights of Wonder is a bird show. It is amazing what they have trained the birds to do. They have
beautiful colorful birds from all over the world. A Bald Eagle who is now off the endangered list. What a wonderful recovery but always another to take its place.
Disney does an outstanding job with everything they do.
Our age is telling on us we got back to the room around six and I laid down to rest and when I
woke up it was 9:30 at night so I got up and got ready for bed and slept until the next day.
Take care
God Bless
Until next time

Tuesday May 14 Florida
Hi,
We visited Epcot yesterday and it was great. The weather was just perfect. We caught the
shuttle from the resort so that made it even better
.
Epcot was having a Flower Festival .They have such creative artist working
for them. To see all the Disney characters made from flowers just incrediable. I loved seeing
all the characters but Winnie the Pooh and friends are number one for me. Second would be
Tinkerbell"s Butterfly Garden.The colours and designs created left me speechless and in
awe.
We watched surround vision movies about a few of the countries represented at Epcot.
A big buffet of countries, foods, shopping and people. Of course fireworks and light show
ended the evening.
The plan for tomorrow is Animal Kingdom.
Until next time
God Bless

May 11 Florida
We had a nice drive down to Florida last night, We drove all night the weather was great and traffic
even better
.
We got here this morning around 8:30 after a hard time finding the resort as it in listed as being
in Celebration Fl but it is not. It is in the same area as the resorts we have stayed at on
earlier trips. It is a beautiful resort and we will check it out good tomorrow. Mystic Dunes
is the name.
The resort let us check in early and we took a long nap while a thunderstorm was going on.
Nice napping weather for sure.
Take care and God Bless

The Month of May
I love the month of May. It is my anniversary month. We got married on May 30 1967. It will be 46 years
this May 30th.
Jim and I were in school together and started "going together"
the summer before our senior year in high school.
He went into Marine Corp right after high school. We got married right before he shipped out to Vietnam.
It has been a journey of ups and downs but we have stayed together thru it all only I know by the
grace of God and our love.
We have 3 daughter who have blessed us with 10 grandsons and two granddaughters. The oldest being
23 and the youngest 7 months. My oldest grandaughter has blessed us with a great grandson and a step-
great grandson. So our house is full and blessed with all ages.
We have always tried to go away for a trip long or short for our anniversary and this year is no different.
We are planning a two week(or longer) trip to Florida.
My sweet April is house sitting and Mamaw sitting and dog sitting. I am thankful that she will do this
for me.
More about the trip coming soon.
God Bless
Until next time
