Pastor's Notes

    Sarah and the kids returned to the shore on Monday looking forward to spending some more time with Mommom and Poppop.  They got in on Monday night and were able to spend a little time on the Boardwalk before bed.  On Tuesday, Jodie and Randy took their family home early, and Mom went to see the doctor.  Mom spent the rest of the week in bed, and so we did not get to spend any time with my parents.

    I traveled down Thursday afternoon hoping to be able to spend some time with the family.  We were planning to go to the beach, and to rides on Friday night.  Well, what is it they say about the best laid plans of mice and men?  We did get to walk the boardwalk on Thursday evening.  However, Stephen was ill on Friday.  We were hoping that a couple breathing treatments would help, and then we would be able to go to the Boardwalk.  In the middle of the afternoon, we had to take him to the emergency room.  We finally got him released around 9 PM and then we started for home and got in around 1 AM.

    I am so glad to be done with vacation, that I do not want to even think of taking another one in the near future.  It would probably help if I even liked being away from home, but I do not.  Sarah and I talked about taking a trip for our anniversary, but she might need to do a lot more selling to get me interested in going anywhere for a while.  Their next excursion is when the plan to travel to see her parents in November.  Her sister and grandmother will also be  coming in at the same time.  I will be here working on a class at the time.
