Country Roads

Recovering..

Funny how you always need a vacation from vacation, huh?   John and I spent a wonderful nine days in Connecticut with his family!  We spent time with his parents, brother and his family, celebrated our 3rd  anniversary, and had a family reunion...

The new slideshow gives you an idea of what went on...  We enjoyed fishing on the ocean, catching same great big ol' flounder!  That's awesome, remember that recipe I posted for Baked Flounder?:)  John and his brother went crabbing one night, we went to New York City for our anniversary.  I really enjoyed NYC, I was impressed with how clean the city was, it was neat to walk the streets.  We went to see fireworks, went to the beach, had a great time seeing all our New England relatives, some all the way from Maine.

It was such an enjoyable time, John and I are so thankful for our family and that they know the Lord!  What a blessing!

It is nice to be back home too...but I do have to tell you a story.  I had one of THOSE days yesterday.  Here it goes:  

1.  Locked ALL my keys in the house on my way to drive a friend to the airport.  Luckily, I remembered where the spare key was in our car.

2. For some reason, I left my cell phone on top of the car when I was getting ready to take off.  Didn't realize it until after I got back from the airport.  (Mind you, we had HEAVY rain in the meantime)

3. Stop at John's work to swipe his house keys on the way home from the airport.

4.  Hubby comes home all confused thinking someone's playing a joke on him!

5.  We walk down the road and found my cell phone in a big puddle of water.  It had been soaking for hours.  Went home and dried it out for the night.

6.  On our way to church, since our keys were all messed up John and I locked ourselves out of our house again!!!

7.  Took a 1/2 hour to get back in the house.  It's not easy to break into our house...that's a good thing.  Luckily, where we have an AC we got through one side of the window with a board with a coat hanger attached and snagged up my keys which were on the kitchen table.

Good news is...my cell phone is working.  There's not even a scratch on it.  Looks brand new, all clean and everything.

God is good all the time!:)

I loved looking at all the pictures in the slideshow!! Thanks for sharing them with us.

As for the "one of those days", I have been there. And it seems like mine always includes locking my keys in my car! LOL One day on the way to church, I accidentially realized upon closing the front door, that I had forgotten my keys inside on the table. The keys were to the car and the house. So, I walked across town (in heels and a skirt), to my parents house, hoping they hadn't left for church yet (didn't have a cell phone at the time), but they were gone. So I ended up getting in their spare vehicle (which didn't have keys in it, but the starter was goofed up and it would start WITHOUT keys in the ignition! LOL). So I showed up at church and told my dad all about it and he laughed and laughed. Later, after church, he had to break into my house from a window in the back porch. Ah well.....I still made it to church on time though! LOL

God's Blessings,

Your vacation was so much more exciting than mine (even including the keys & cell phone!). I loved looking at the pictures. Hope to see you soon.
