More thunderstorms blew through this morning.

I enjoy Eric Barker’s blog.

OYB!

Raccoons pulled the lid off of my garbage can. Still can’t figure out how they did it. The rain ruined the dog food but I managed to dry out the birdseed.

Came in second place in the Duolingo leagues last week. I’m nearly at a major milestone!

I was in contact with the team leader from FBC Trussville. They are making some flyers for these locations.

Spent time making sure that all of my health insurance pieces were in place. They were.

Good talk with my Mom today. The move to Atlanta will happen soon, but the exact date is dependent on many variables. We are still shooting for June 5th, but we may have to adapt to our friend’s schedule which could set that date back a couple of weeks. The Father has his timing with all of this.

Great to see the girls. Penelope has her Dr. Seuss performance this Thursday. She has practice M/T/W.

I put a screen protector on Everly and Penelope’s iPhones. The one I did for P didn’t turn out right and unfortunately she got pretty upset. I have more on the way to replace it.

Picked up Penelope at Huntley Hills. Took her to Mcdonalds and I deposited checks that had come in.

Helped the kids at the mission. Surprised there was any homework. 1st graders had a lot.

Enjoyed hearing Everly play guitar.

Beautiful. Can you see how it repeats the pattern in the lower section?

Got gas and checked the oil in the Honda.

I’ll come in first place this week.

I’ve been talking to K’s sister Ann about getting some things done. One of them is banking.

It’s weird to see how far that earthquake travelled.

Felt cold and wet today.

Talked to my Mom. We had a good chat.

Tried to get in touch with Anthony, but he was busy with family.

Watered my plants.

I should come in second place this week. I worked hard, especially considering I was at the beach.

I think this ammonite fossil Jessi has is cool.

Woke up with my bed shaking. I reached over and felt the mattress vibrating. Weird. Turned out to be a 3.8 magnitude earthquake at the border of Tennessee and N. Carolina.

Don Cheto!

Cool and drizzly day.

OYB!

Talked with the outreach leader for a SS class at FBA this morning. I think I gave Kathryn a good overview and pitch.

Talked with one of the apartment managers about food banks and flyers for the team coming soon.

Good chat with Jon about the housing allowance situation with our payroll company. I now have the information that Paychex needs in order to do my checks properly.

Mailed the bill in for K’s medicare.

Recorded and released a new episode of Verbal Surgery called “Stability Instability.”

Got some new sunglasses. Not sure what happened to my old ones.

I transferred the money from Pay Pal into our bank account for Whirlwind. I still need to get a list of what was given since 1.1.25.

I ordered a new bank card for Whirlwind. Our card isn’t working great.

I’ll come in second place this week.

Ordered some new reading glasses. Not sure what happened to my sunglasses. Hope they turn up. May have left them somewhere on Tybee Island which is not like me.

I heard back from Lamar who is my tax guy. I sent Jon the information I got from him. We need to contact Paychex which Jon normally does.

Got in touch with the team leader from First Baptist Atlanta.

OYB!

Español!

Sent notes to Everly and Penelope.

I got some money back from the hotel because my bed was so bad. They swear they’re going to swap it out. Hope so.

Contacted the team leader coming in a couple of weeks.

Got more USB to USB C cables.

Replaced the screen protector for K’s phone.

Did the laundry.

Paid K’s insurance.

Brought home Thai food.

Lovely day. I spent most of it resting.

Keep going.

OYB!

We had a good trip back to Atlanta! K had a stomach problem. We had to stop several times on the way home. It was great to have the whole family together.

We ate at Clary’s for breakfast. It was delicious. We were too full to get dessert. Sure looked good.

We got caught in a really heavy thunderstorm, but it was short lived.

Got gas and added .75 Qt.

Swallow’s nest at a rest area we went to.

GREAT to have such a loving family. The girls were fantastic. K and J had a lot of fun with them too. Ashley and Miles were so happy to see the kids back!

I got up around 7:00 to study. Just keep going.

OYB!

One of the hardest jobs of vacation is trying to figure out what to eat.

Español!

Study and then pool time.

Sunrise for breakfast. Every morning. Not many options.

I upgraded my cell plan. Not enough data.

Sent an idea to the youth director bringing the big team end of this month.

PE and I went on a bike Safari to the North end of Tybee Island. Artsy fun. Great banana nut muffin at Tybean. Love the shark head. We got a couple of cool t-shirts for $5 each.

We got surrounded by rain. I knew it was coming and we were under shelter when it hit, but we got a little wet on the way back home.

We had fun visiting all the little shops in the area.

Spanky’s for friend vegetables. Like my coloring?

Groovy tiki art.

Good food with our sweet angels.

Sugar Shack for ice cream.

Keep going.

OYB!

Good talk with my buddy Spencer about the team he’s bringing the end of May. About 120 people.

Everly’s mood ring.

Got the bikes ready for our Savannah Safari!

Bonaventure Cemetery. It’s where I want my ashes to be spread.

River Street.

Savannah Candy Kitchen.

Did some swimming when we got back to the beach. Final job, hang out laundry. I love my little clothes line.

We had Mexican food this evening.

Beach at sunset. With bubbles.

Bubbles 101.

The jellyfish scared us.

Talking to their Mom and Dad who are visiting Chicago right now.

Keep going.

Unbelievable.

OYB!

PEK and I went to Sunrise for breakfast.

Español! I finished in third place last week.

We went swimming in the ocean. I saw a dead jelly fish on the shore. While I was in the water I saw one that was swimming. I made us all get out. If they got stung I’d never forgive myself. We enjoyed the pool instead.

How does someone get a sunburn like this? Bizarre.

We rode our bikes to the Lighthouse. They did great on the bikes! We made it half way up the lighthouse, then it got too scary for the girls. I wasn’t surprised, it’s very intense. They had fun at the gift shop. They still had a $25 credit for helping me for hours with the monkey grass project.

We thought this was interesting.

Tybee Island museum was cool.

Love this place.

Then ice cream at the Sugar Shack. It’s an ice cream and candy place now. K and I went there for nearly 40 years for breakfast. Miss it. We still liked the ice cream!

We went to the Southern tip of the island on our bike ride.

I liked this.

Keep going. Harder when I’m on vacation and taking care of everyone.

May the Fourth be with you! Yeah, baby!

Big thunderstorm blew through late last night. Everly got pretty scared.

Español in the morning before the trip.

Took me about an hour to pack the car. Bikes were last.

Gassed up the car after we got through Macon. Ate at Subway and a gas station deli which was pretty good.

We left our house around noon. Got to Tybee about 5:45 PM. Unpacked the car and locked the bikes up.

Then to the beach before sunset!

Beauty!

I’ll come in third place this week, as I predicted.

I can’t believe our dear leader did this. Really offensive.

I thought this was cool.

I’m getting a Rubik’s cube just to see if this works!

OYB!

Good chat with Anthony! It was his birthday yesterday.

Sprinkly weather today.

Good chat with Nana today. Glad to have her back home! She’ll be coming to our house on June 5th. One month from this Wednesday.

I listened to this album as well as Don Cheto while I played Battlefront II.

Ashley brought the girls over around 4:15 PM.

Gassed up the car and checked the oil. All ready for the Safari to Tybee Island tomorrow.

We went to Burger King for supper.

I talked to Chat GPT about what this hat meant. She thought it was a joint naval fleet training between the USA and the UK.

Added some more data to my Mint mobile.

Jessi and I got Kathy signed up for Social Security.

I double checked the bookings for our trip. Everything should be good to go.

Keep going. I should come in the top three this week.
