Great Weekend

This weekend has gone by way too fast. My husband and I have now begun the empty nest time of our life. We have had times when the nest has been empty but with Bubba now in the serive this is it...the begining of the end!!! Wow, let the good times roll.

Robert and I started out our life with 6 kids and we added one. "Yours, Mine and Ours". Sounds like the makings of a great movie, LOL. Well, any way, Robert thought maybe we should take a day and go to Lake Michigan-that was a favorite for us to take the kids as they were growoing up. We would camp and they could spend as much time swimming and fishing as they wanted. Robert wanted to check out some Marina's so he and his brother could put in their 20' fishing boat.

Sat. morning we got up at 7 and was on the road by 8:00. It took ua about 3 hours to get to St. Joe's. We stopped on the way at a Farmers Market. We were not in a big hurry.We spent some time on the beautiful streets of St. Joe and had lunch. We then left and made our way to South Haven, this is the city we spent our time with the kids. It brought back many menories. After walking the streets and taking pictures there we decided to start heading back to the east of the state.

On the way home I ask my husband to please stop some place along the way so I could do some shopping. He said there was some shopping along the highway at Battle Creek. He was right!!! There is was...I could see it 2 miles away...Michaels and before we got to Micheals I found Hobby Lobby. I was excited and I told my hubby "Yes, Jesus does love me"! His reply was "Yea, but he hates Me, LOL" We know that isn't ture but that is how different Robert and I are.

My great husband suffered through the hour I took to look, which I do more of than actual shopping, and that was at both stores and then we were on our way home. AS we got close to Marshall he called his brother and we stopped in to see his brother and sister-in-law. They were camping there. Then we headed home. It was a long day but full of lots of fun with the one I love most in my life.

These days have been a long time coming and I will always cherris the memories they create. It is more important to me to have this time with my husbanf since the lose of my father. There is no promise of tomorrow, only the memories of yesterday and the life we put in the moment we have right now.
