Family Week

   This is family week here on St. Simons. Doug, Dawn and the 3 kids are renting a house here for the week, and we are busy having fun. Drew will be 13 shortly, Caroline is 11 this Thursday and Lucy will be 9 in a couple of months. The newest member of the family, Roxie, is 6.

   Let's see: They got here late in the afternoon of Saturday, and we ate supper at our place and played a few games. Sunday we went to church, played in the afternoon over at their house, both outside and in, cooked out there and played again.

   Monday, Drew and I went to Sanctuary to play 18 holes of golf, the girls and Momma went to the beach and rode bikes, and then we ate supper with and kept the kids while the parents celebrated their 18th anniversary with a dinner out. We played more games and listened to the thunderstorm rumbling around outside.

   God has blessed us with 3 great kids of our own and 7 beautiful and "above average" grand children, and we are more than happy to share our time with them whenever we can. We look forward to the rest of this week with these "pumpkins", and then next week we will rest. But for now, we are off to Jekyll for the water park and the beach and all the fun we can stand.

   As the summer wears on, we hope to be with all our kids and grands, at one point or another, at one place or another, doing the things we like to all do, play.

   We'll rest in the fall.
