YEAH FOR THE WEEKEND!!!

I am looking forward to the weekend and I think maybe lunch at Cheeseberger in Paradise is in order. David and I are free this weekend and if it doesn't rain maybe we will enjoy the pool and just relax.

Dana and Emiley are flying in tonight so we will have to go to Robin's to see how much Emiley has grown. Look for a photo of them next week on my blog.

DON'T PAY THE RANSOM...THEY LET ME GO

That is a line we use around our house whenever we return after being gone longer than expected. It is usually used to get the person that has been waiting at home to laugh so you won't be in trouble because extended absence.

It has only been a week since I posted but I just haven't had time. I have been busy. I keep hoping my life will slow down just a little but I don't think it will be anytime soon.

I am working Mon - Fri 9-5. I have Natalie Sun, Mon and Tue nights, taking her to daycare Mon, Tue, Wed morning before work which means taking care of food baths and entertainment for an only child (and we all know how high-maintainace an 'only child' can be). She is getting to be more fun all the time. The pool and the golf cart are still big deals to her.

I am going to work on books at church 1 or two nights a week (the good news is I think I am catching on to their system). I had to go to the doctor this week and I took Robin to her doctor on Mon. I am trying to get back to the gym 4 times a week so therefore the little time left is spent doing little chores of life.

Robin started taking Chemo tablets this week. Five days on, twenty-three days off.

Dave hasn't been playing much golf lately. He did play last week with the pastor of our church. (I don't think either one of them did too well). Dave is planning to go to Maine in August to see Brad and we are seriously considering a trip to Germany in May (That means we have to get these forms filled out for passports). Life is busy but God is good!

JOSHUA

I fell in love with this little fellow 20 years ago. He was the cutest little thing you have ever seen. He was smart. He loved balls, balloons and Toddie. He liked the rest of us OK but never as much as those things.







He could keep us laughing with the things he said
or did. Winking before you turn 2 was always a good trick to amaze the adults around you.

This kid was teased tourtured and encouraged to do things he shouldn't by every teenager around.

I tell you all of this so you will understand why I am so happy for Joshua now.

Dave and I went to his engagement party this week and meet his Bride-to-Be. She was charming and from all the things I have learned about her, an answer to all of our prayers.

CONGRATULATIONS JOSH!!! ALL OF THE JOHNSON'S STILL LOVE YOU AS MUCH AS WE LOVED THAT CUTIE WITH THE WINK.

MMMMMM GOOD!

The day finally came to try out the Mother's Day Gift/Sushi Instructions ...after a stop at the Bagel Factory, a walk on Ft Myers Beach and a workout at the gym Dave and I went to Blue Pepper for fresh tuna, the oriental grocery for other supplies and Publix for vegetables.

These are the ingredients I started with.













I did have a few problems with timing, but it was a very successful experiment. (Unlike my bread making experiences.)

But even though I am very proud of myself because it tasted very good, I think I will still go back to see my friend Noah, he is a professional.

OUR TRANSPORTATION SUGGESTION

Todd, Christa, Anna and Sarah are moving out of town and they are going to be house sitting. The owners of the house have a motorcycle (as seen in the first photo). Because of all the the patients Dave has seen after they had a motorcycle wreck we wanted to make a suggestion for a safer form of transortation for them. This would be large enough for the whole family and I am sure if Anna is taking care of the dog she won't mind one more animal to care for.

THE NOMADS OF THE JOHNSON FAMILY ARE MOVING...AGAIN

Yes, Todd Christa and the girls are on the move. This time they will be keeping their apartment and just house sitting in the country. From what I have seen in the photos it is a much smaller town but has a large Library/Cultural Center that their group has recently opened. I know they are excited about experiencing what God has for them and where could Todd be any happier than in a Library.

HE'S BACK

I can't be sure that this is the same one that was on our #3 tee on Labor Day but if it is he must like to come home for the holidays because he was sighted and photographed on another lake on the golf course over Memorial Day weekend.

 

 

HAPPY 7TH ANNIVERSARY TODD & CHRISTA

Even though it is tomorrow where they are it is June 3 where I am and I wanted to wish Todd and Christa a HAPPY ANNIVERSARY.

(Due to poor computer skills this was not published yesterday when it was suppose to be)

CELEBRATE

Robin turned 58 and we went to Tokyo Bay to celebrate the happy occasion.

The chef was entertaining.



Both of her daughters and granddaughters were there and looking good.




Dave and I got there early and started at the Sushi Bar. Wish you all could have been here to celebrate with us. We missed you.
