Over the years,

the family has been so important to us!

Our thoughts on where to move-

were based on how long it took to return to NVA.

At my age –

looking at a 14-hour drive-

is something I do not want to do!

Reasonable was SEVEN hours –

It could be done in one day with both of us taking turns!

BEACH LIFE – when we want it –

being close enough to decide –

on the spur of the moment to just get into the car-

Drive ten minutes –

and be on the sand!

Storms do concern us –

Being prepared to both stay and depart.

We have experienced one category 1.5 storm –

It was higher-

but decreased as it came up the coast.

The main concern is if you leave –

not being able to return for a while!

Where to go?

These storms leave a wide –

and long path of destruction.

In 1972 – I lived in WPA – and it caused the floods of ’72!

12 feet of water on the main street of the little town I grew up in!

That is 12 to 14 hours from where we live now!

MAJOR STORMS –

I just do not know!

But – we knew this when we moved here!

The recent arrival of our youngest grandkids –

and their mother-father was here also.

They made it in 6 1/2 hours!

Getting up and departing early!

The young ones love it here-

and have been here by themselves!

Met halfway and one time Sherry flew back to NVA –

And they flew back with her!

Always looking for “STUFF” to do with them! LOL

A recent family get-together –

Sherry’s sister and her daughter and husband and two girls!

It has been years since a family reunion on Sherry’s side!

But – maybe one day it can happen!

We try to live our lives with compassion for those in need –

Volunteering – church – family and friends.

Sherry is a registered Democrat – moderate –

I am a registered independent – -moderate.

I hope this country can heal –

work together –

but I see and read so much discord.

COMMON SENSE can go a long way to work together.

Name-calling -slander and meanness –

We want nothing to do with that.

Law and order –

military strength –

and working on immigration –

Caring for our country – helping those in need –

Being fiscally responsible –

Honoring our Vets –

and maintaining the LAND OF THE FREE and the Constitution

Pride in who we are –

and why we are here.

All encompassed in one nation.

Family – friends –

neighbors – retirement –

Senior living!
