Summer of 2012

Doug giving a tour of the Capital building.  He is talking about the rotunda ceiling which has George Washington and 13 angels (for 13 colonies) painted on it.

Bruce and I took a trip to visit DC and got the official Capital tour from an official intern!

Doug came home from Bama on the 12th of May, turned 21 on the 16th and left for DC on the 19th.  He worked as an intern for Congressman Aderholt and had a great time through EPIC ministries and the Navigators.  We went to DC in June to visit him.  It was so hot! but we rode segways and had a blast!

Doug is home now from DC and looking forward to his junior year at Bama.

Dad is doing well.  Got a clean bill from the oncologist.  He enjoys visiting his newest great grand daughter, Scarlett, and hanging out with friends here in Bham.

We are enjoying the summer but looking forward to cooler temps in the fall. 

The beginning of 2012

We had some great times in 2011.  I left home with a suitcase at least once every month. Quite proud of that travel record.  FWB in Jan, San Antonio in Feb, Orange Beach in March, West Palm Beach in April (to see Jimmy Buffet) NYC in May(love it!), Orange Beach in June, Gatlinburg in July, Tuscaloosa in August, Orange Beach in Sept ( I really like Orange Beach), somewhere in Oct that I can't even remember (old brain), FWB in November and Macon, Ga in Dec. Whew! I get tired just thinking of it, but it was a good time and enjoyed all of it. 

Dad is still suffering from the shingles, but it seems to be getting a little better.  He goes to the oncologist for a check up tomorrow.  I'm praying for great news.

Bruce is still at Protective and they seem to be doing well.  Doug is a sophomore at Bama and having a blast.  We enjoyed tailgating so much with our friends of the Shake-a-leg crew.

Looking forward to what God will do with all of us in 2012.  Hoping to be able to trust more and worry less.
