Mess with me and you mess with the whole trailer park!

Leaving for Florida today....YAAAAA!

This is the park where we kept the motor home this summer....was a great way to get off the island for a few days.

Salt stayed back and finished out his summer responsibilities, while I traveled back with my cousin Hazel, who now has a house in or community.



We made a quick stop at my cousin Bob's (McConnell) for one of his famous hot dogs and a short visit.


Thelma and Louise...headed for yet another adventure....bwahahaha!! We always have so much fun traveling together.



Bob is Hazel's brother......



As soon as we arrived home, Terry and Sue had us over for dinner. The young lady in the middle is Terry's mother.

Memories are gone....I'm falling behind!

Wow I can't believe how long it has been since I have posted. Was a very quiet summer....all the kids have grown and have moved away or have jobs that keep them all busy. I spent much of my time on the mainland (in the motor home) catching up on researching Medicare supplement providers, and finalizing our move to Florida. Oh yeah, and of course I was glued to the Casey Anthony trial.... :-(

Salt stayed over on the main land one night and left early to get to work. When he went to the dock, this is what he found. Our boat was parked directly in front of the one on the right and never got a spark. Supposedly it was from faulty wiring, but I am convinced it was started from some of the many fireworks that were set off illegally the night before????

The newest addition to Grindstone Island....a grape vineyard started and owned by Mark Purcell. Will a winery follow???

Jada (Lashomb), Garrett and Greyson Field were on the island for the month of July. We stopped to see them one evening and right after Jada had Grey all dressed for the dance, he decided to cool off in his pool. He has got to be one of the cutest little boys I've seen in a long time!

Emma getting ready to hop in the tube, which she talked Pop into pulling behind his boat.


Pop decided to give her the ride of her life....check out the air she is getting!!



Pop getting a little too brave, leveling off the new beach.


I have been packing for Florida. Karen Lashomb took me out to the Seaway for a "farewell" dinner. Hazel and I will be leaving within the next few days. Betty and Emma will drive me to Elmira, NY and we will leave from there. I'm getting very anxious!
