See what happens Hannah when you write on Granny's iPad!
We had a wonderful Easter surrounded by family and
Chocolate. Chocolate is back in Adele’s
diet and she has a year’s worth stashed in the RV, which will probably last 3
months. Adele’s brother Tom brought her
a pound and a half of Purdy Chocolates from Vancouver then Jennifer brought
loads of English Cadburys lucky for us as neither of us like Hersey's version
of Cadbury.
Tony and Stella flew over from San Francisco to have fun
with the children, Tony is such fun and so good with children they just love to
see him and Stella. Jennifer and Karl had rented a 6 bedroomed house with a
pool in a gated community and we managed to find an RV resort right next to
them. We had the grandchildren over one
at a time for a sleep over and each enjoyed the fun of turning the dining table
into their bed and checking out the cupboards; mostly we stayed at the house. As
the RV needed a minor awning repair the children had the opportunity to have a
ride in it.
All 9 of us visited Sea World together and managed to stay
together most of the time. Stella and Adele decided to have their faces painted
and needless to say got lost - maybe the rest of us didn't want to know them. We
didn’t visit every park with the Barrow's too many scary rides for us oldies –
although the kids did get us on a few in Wet & Wild and Ciaran convinced
Tom onto a Roller Coaster ride in Busch Gardens. We spent an enjoyable day at
the Kennedy Space Center, the highlight of which was taking the simulated
shuttle launch. We know that the enduring memory of their visit for all the
Barrows will be swimming with the Dolphins at Discovery Cove, truly a life time
memory for all of them.
Our big news this month is that Leslie and Cearull are
expecting their first child in September/October – our 6th grandchild.
Before heading back to Saint Augustine we managed to squeeze
in a visit to Eileen and Carl in Clearwater. From Saint Augustine Beach we will
head north along the coasts of South Carolina & North Carolina; then west
to West Virginia, Kentucky and Middle America
We celebrated our 44th anniversary last Tuesday don’t the years
fly by? And, both of thinking and sometimes acting like we’re in our 20’s! Ah,
well life is for living as we Irish say!
Our nomination for the best job in the USA…Beach Patrol on Saint
Augustine Beach - this is a college town
– and the students between classes throng to the beach where the main
attraction is the females in various sizes of small, smaller and skimpy bikinis,
while the males wear below the knee shorts at, em half-mast displaying their
underwear.
Come to think of it we have not seen a female patrolling the
beach. Hmm!
