May Highlights

This is the month we're making plans to head back to MI for the short summer.  It's going to be a fast trip to and from, but we need to make sure we take enough of a break to rest our backs and minds.  In the meantime, here are some of our May highlights.

New Congregation:  We certainly love our love congregation.  Most families are seen like this praying together and over each other. This I think, is very touching, and should be a focus in each family. For Mark and I, taking time to pray with and for each other (together), has strengthened our relationship and helps us know the other one 'has our back'..

Galveston:  Just a quick trip to Galveston for a nice bike ride and swim.

Mom's Party:  Mark took a quick trip to MI to enjoy some family fun at his mom's 85th birthday party. There was a LOT of family there, and it's always great to see the kids too!

Our daughter Katie has a friend that is a Ragdoll cat breeder that was going out of business.. So, through some connections, Katie is getting us a purebred Ragdoll kitty. It took some time figuring out which one we wanted, but we chose Naomi because we loved her name and personality.  So, we've renovated the RV just a tad and getting ready to adopt our new addition in June.  :-). The photo below is Naomi being held by Nora.

Just a few pics of Pica, one at the campground and the other on travel day. She loves sleeping in her bike basket during travel. Probably because it keeps her snug & cozy. 

Our trip home consisted of 5 overnight stops. We chose campgrounds that were close to the freeway so it was a quick on/off.

Martin Creek Lake State Park (Texas): This was an absolutely gorgeous campground with very large sites.  We will definitely return here.

Willow Beach Recreation Area:  This was also a gorgeous campground but small and had NO beach. Odd, but we had a beautiful spacious site and we enjoyed 2 nights of rest.

Canal Campground:  Settled on the north-west side of the Land Between the Lakes, this campground is gorgeous, hilly, and there were no bad sites. Every site had its own private area and view.  We loved the many water-view sites, and the swimming beach was good.

Still on the way home, our other sites will be in the June Highlights blog.  :-)
