Sunday - Cold and Rainy All Day!

It started raining hard during the night and continued almost all day, never getting out of the 50's.  Ken and I were at Edgewater Church by 9:15 and enjoyed some fellowship time.  It was a great service as per usual and when we left around 10:45 we drove to Costco in Sarasota, stopping for drinks on the way.

The rain was heavy when we got there.  We got a few items and were back to the campground around 1:45.  We ate a light lunch and then spent the next 3 hours working on Ken's testimony that he plans to present at the Celebrate Recovery here in Port Charlotte.  Ken had written it over the last 3 weeks and asked if I would type it for him, but he definitely needed to be beside me editing it as we went.  It was a long process, but he has done such a good job of telling his life story and the journey that has led him to his recovery of no alcohol the last three years.  I find it amazing!  He was thrilled when we were able to print the 10 pages.

He offered to make salads for dinner while I "caught up" on our blog.  I had gotten so far behind.  It rained all afternoon and they are predicting it to continue throughout the night.

We did not see Ernie and Noela today, for they left around 3:30 to go to Tampa Airport to meet their son and his family who will be renting a home in Venice for a week.  They are looking forward to spending time together and seeing many of the things that Ernie and Noela enjoy doing each winter here in Florida.  Unfortunately it is supposed to be a cool week, but the rain should be gone by mid morning tomorrow.

Ken and I watched 60 minutes and played 2 rounds of Hand and Foot which he is leading by quite a large margin.  I believe I will be able to overtake him!  It seemed like the rain was finished when we went to bed.  It was another great day in Florida.

Just an extra note - Cindy sent me a photo of a 6 week old Pug they bought today.  They are such dog lovers and I am surprised they didn't get one sooner.  Sleeping will probably be a bit difficult the next week or so, but he certainly is adorable!  Turns out the dog was born on November 15, John's Birthday, and Cindy's is November 16.  They thought it was an omen!!!
