4th of July

Kevin had a 24 hour watch on the 4th, so I spent the day with 2 co-workers. We went out to breakfast, went to the Zoo, hung out by the pool then went downtown to watch fireworks.
Here are a few pictures from the zoo.

4th of July

Looking back 1  year ago, it's hard to believe that Florida was so dry & had a bunch of wild fires, and the air was smokey just about everyday.

No that's not fog, it's smoke. There was a lot of uncertainty as to whether or not there would be any fireworks last year. However this year, thankfully we haven't had this problem. We've had plenty of rain from Tropical Storm/Depression Beryl & Debbie. I'm looking forward to seeing fireworks tomorrow!


Today I was scheduled to bring snack for my Bible Study, so I made this festive 4th of July cake

Hope you all have a safe & happy 4th of July!!

3 Years Ago Today

Tropical Storm Debby

The owner of my shop was nice enough to close the shop 2 hours early today due to all the rain, because cars were getting stuck in the flooded roads. Thankfully I did not. However I saw a lot of roads that will probably flood overnight. Once I got home, I noticed 2 more leaks. Both leaks around windows. The one in the laundry room is the worst out of the two. I'm pretty sure the wall isn't suppose to look like this.....

Lately....

Thanks to Tropical Storm Debby, we have been getting A LOT of rain lately, which is good because we definitely needed it. However now our roof & porch have leaks. The leak in the roof is conveniently right next to my side of the bed. 

 The water is coming in on the porch from the windows and going down the walls, and laying on the floor. I put towels down last night, and they were soaked this morning. Guess I'll be putting down more towels tonight. The water has left brown streaks down the wall.....see?





A few cat toys had to be thrown away due to the water on the floor. The maintenance men came this morning and confirmed that there is indeed a leak in the roof, so he will be handing this over to his supervisor and he's suppose to get in contact with me to set up a day for the roofers to come fix it.


Last Saturday we went & visited Kevin's parents, sister & her kids. Earleen is pregnant, so we'll be getting another niece in August. Here's a few pictures from our visit:

We celebrated McKenzie's 2nd Birthday

We sang this song in Church on Sunday & can't get it out of my head (not that that's a bad thing)


                                 

If faith can move the mountains
Let the mountains move
We come with expectation
Waiting here for You, waiting here for You

You're the Lord of all creation
And still You know my heart
The Author of salvation
You've loved us from the start

Waiting here for You
With our hands lifted high in praise
And it's You we adore
Singing: alleluia

You are everything You've promised
Your faithfulness is true
We're desperate for Your presence
All we need is You

We will wait for You, Lord
In step with You, Lord
We will sing alleluia

Singing: alleluia; alleluia
Singing: alleluia; alleluia

Saturday

Saturday, I had the day off so Kevin & I hit up a few garage sales then went to the farmers market downtown. I also took Kevin to Memorial Park. We took some pictures....







Back on May 24, after dinner Kevin took me to a Preserve and we walked around a bit. While we were walking we saw a SUV with a Delaware license plate. We saw a woman on the dock, fishing. So we walked down, started talking to her and found out that she's from Wilmington!!! She had recently moved to FL. As we were talking this beautiful sunset was happening....
