We were actually out of town when Wilma hit; and our son and family were staying at our house. They watched the huge metal patio awning flop around and blow off over our house and smash into the neighbor's car across the street. Bare shrubbery for months too. We had already lost our roof the year before in Jean and Frances. Remember how almost every house in town had a blue roof? We had one of those for months before we could find a roofer! Ah, fond memories of life in Florida.
I'm a stay-at-home grandmother with five grandchildren, a daughter, three stepsons, a husband, a dog and a cat. I love Jesus, scrapbooking and the beach. In June of 2016 my husband and I retired and moved from South Florida back to Prince of Wales Island in Southeast Alaska! We're building a small homestead on 3 acres of beachfront property. It's quite a life change, but we are loving the new quiet lifestyle!
On October 14, 2013 my mother died from cancer. She was 84 years old and had been happily married to my Dad for over 65 years! This is one of my favorite pictures of the two of them before Daddy fell and broke his hip. He spent almost 4 years in rehab and a nursing home. He died January 30, 2015 from heart disease and dementia complications. I already miss them both VERY much. But I know they're in Heaven together and are happy and healthy again...
In Honor of Zoe
My faithful companion of 14 years died of liver failure on September 18, 2008. She is VERY much missed! I thank God for the privilege of being her companion all those years.
