Florida Chapter one

 

On the way to Orlando....

Ok you movie buffs..

Watched two movies that made my eyes swim...

First... a true story of the injustice to men of color in Alabama and the black attorney from Harvard who came to help....and he did !

Second... maybe the third time around for this great old story... from a classic.... first time I remember was with Peter Lawford  and Elizabeth Taylor...

Off the plane and into the love and life of our friends who used to live in Bellevue, but now reside in Indialantic Florida !   Probably never heard of this little island town, but it is right between the Atlantic ocean and the India River... check it out

We were greeted with hugs and were swept away to our "better than a resort" for three days. 

Their Family with us at their front door 

More than Coffee...but first things first 

 A walk around the back yard...

Time to pick up that little angel from pre school  and then see some of the town.

She is very comfortable here and shows us some of the projects going on

 Then we head to....the oldest building in the area 

We can't go inside today,  but we can peek  through the window 

And we can enjoy the garden swing 

and unusual vegetation. 

But, in the afternoon we attend Bible club. This family shared music, reading, cooking, acting and the love of God to about 12 of us.  
I don't mind admitting my eyes were swimming.

( a highlight of the day for me ) 

Making cookies  & slicing fruit 

fellowship time and then
an invitation to dinner.

Kind of a big day, but still time and energy to "play" with Legos.

Little one swims every day, sometimes twice a day.   In the afternoon we attend a little known farm.   Easy to see everyone enjoyed this adventure.

But not before a wonderful brunch

At the end of the day, the little lady convinced hubby to go for a swim 

Sunday morning we gathered at the very place where our host and hostess were baptized many years ago.  Now that they are living back in Florida, they are attending once again.

I loved it.  First the worship meeting and every song ( except one chorus ) was familiar and hymns I have known all my life.  A special time, a very special time of worship.

After coffee and treats, another time in the Word.

We enjoyed brunch/lunch together, the 5 of us, and then off to our resort.

Pretty unusual to feel so comfortable with friends and be waited on hand and foot and then be told we are welcome to come back, anytime.  

We are blessed.

OH, they plan a trip to our place next year.

I live an exciting life
