Coming Home

Well the fact that we were coming home was inevitable, despite my best efforts to get at least one more day out of it. I tried, seriously until we were in the driveway. Oh well, I am hoping for another trip this fall. At least a weekend. Anything is better than nothing.

The trip home was relatively uneventful. We did a little shopping, first we had to cross the state line to get some lottery tickets. Hey you cannot win if you do not play. I seriously hope to win one day, preferably sooner than later. Of course everyone else who plays does too!

When we got to Jemison, we were met with some nice rain which continued until 280. It was seriously wild. It went from a light drizzle to a downpour that had us sitting still on 65. We also saw a great rainbow in Alabaster. Very pretty, not quite the one over the beach though. The traffic through the construction is bad enough without the added drama of the rain. I hope that one day they complete their work on 65 so that the people of Alabama and the people passing through can enjoy an easy time instead of a serious headache.

When we got home we decided to unload the suitcases and groceries, but leave the beach specific things in the van. We were all tired. Anyway, I was going through the mail and was greeted home by a sting from a black wasp. I want to go on record saying that it hurt like hell. I am glad it was me and not one of the boys, but still VERY painful.

I talked to my mom afer we got home and she said that my cousin who was still at the beach said that the Gulf State Park was on fire. We had just been there, I love that park. Where the bald eagles nest and so many cool flowers and birds can be seen. Anyway, when I was uploading my pictures I realized that I had a picture of the fire. This is taken on the bridge going over where LuLu's is.

Well, while coming home from the beach is something that breaks my heart a little, it also meant my own bed. Sorry I got behind on my blog, but the bed was definitely calling for me. I did remember all of you in my thoughts and prayers.
