Next in Line


For this year's Spring/Summer vacation we rented a condo to be used by the whole family . . .
taking turns. Chris and Julene spent just over a week here and left
on the day Shaun and Kristal moved in.


We came down a bit before our time and celebrated Natalie's 7th Birthday.
Her special day is today!


We also attended an Easter service together and then waved goodbye to them
while the sheets and towels were still tumbling in the dryer . . .


On the counters and on the table they left bowls of lemons, grapefruit and oranges
they had gathered this past week as the citrus trees around the complex were all pruned back.


A wonderful welcome to a home that will be ours for just over a week,
after which, we will say hello and goodbye to the next in line.

In the meantime, we will get our fair share of vitamin C and D . . .
and I hope time does not go by too quickly.

Enjoy! What a lovely idea ....one to file away and suggest sometime down the road (and give you credit for it :) of course! )

Good for you!! That's such a great plan....enjoy every minute and soak up as much of that warmth and sunshine as you can.

This is such a nice idea and one guaranteed to be a hit with all members of the family. It looks like a lovely spot for a little R&R.
Enjoy your week.

Isn't it wonderful to find a new home away from home, call it home and have all the kids join in. It's a treat for all.
