Florida Wedding

Goodness me, it has been a very busy couple of months!  April 19, 2012, Sadie and Stephen got married on the beach in Fort Walton, Florida.  What a wonderful ceremony and trip. I see now why people become "Beach Bums".   Sadie looked  so beautiful and Stephen was so happy.  We enjoyed staying on the beach and relaxing.  Of course, we did alot of eating and picture taking too!  We arrived on Monday and left on Friday.  Stephen and Sadie went on from Florida to the Bahamas for a few days.  Adler enjoyed the freedom he had on the beach and became quite the little swimmer in the pool.  Nana did better traveling on the planes but would diffidently feel more comfortable if they would just let me operate the take-off and landing of the plane!  May is always a busy and expensive month for our family.  Terry and I have been married 31 years the 20th of May!  Whoo-whoo!  I think we are running out of things to disagree on, or Terry is finally realizing that I'm usually right!  Shelby turned 28 and Sadie turned 25, shhhhh. Dad had his Birthday, celebrated Mother's Day, several friends' children graduating and a couple of weddings.  Now for other news, I closed the door on the kennel last week for the last time. Yep, sold the dogs, gave away a few and locked the door.  I started raising dogs in 1994 and enjoyed every aspect of owning my own business.   Although I loved the animals and the freedom it gave me with my family,  I was ready to give up the worries and commitments,  and all the "hogwash" that politics were adding to it.   Now if I can just get use to the fact that I have less to worry about!   It's hard to just stop thinking about something that consumed everyday for the past 18 years.  I'm sure I will adjust just fine.  I am very happy and blessed to be in a position to help the kids with Adler and hopefully more Grandchildren in the future.   I have taken up doing Yoga and hopefully will get some scrapbooking done.  As Shelby would say " It would be nice if you would just do some scrapbooking, period, Mom!"  After helping the kids move, again, I am in the mood to do a little redecorating myself.  Please don't tell Terry, it just stresses him out!!!  I plan on going with Terry more when he leaves town for business and hopefully get to do more shopping!  We bought a different vehicle last week.  I finally broke down and drove it out of town last night.  I wanted to keep it in the garage so that it wouldn't get dirty.  Poor Betsy, my old car, has been so faithful, it will be sad to see her go.  Oh well, my new ride has seats that cool my behind in the summer and get warm in the winter!  I'm sure I can get use to this too.  Summer is here!  I wonder if it's possible that the June Bugs didn't survive the winter?
