Getting Ready to Begin Our Dream




After years of dreaming, planning and overcoming many obstacles we are ready to prepare for our “Adventures aboard the Morningstar.  After eight long years, we now have the house situation behind us and are looking forward to a new chapter in our lives.  The Lord has been so good to us, and words can never express our love and thankfulness to Him for His amazing Grace.  2014 is a year of new beginnings and we are excited to see the many adventures in store for us. There is nothing more amazing then following the Lord and surrendering your life to His amazing purposes and plans for your life. When you search for the Lord with all your heart you will find him, and once you experience His peace, your life takes on a new purpose.  Rich, Lucky and I want to share God’s love with everyone we meet.   “Oh precious Jesus, Let us honor you always with our hearts open to whatever and whoever you chose to lead us to.”  The Morning Star is dedicated to you Jesus, our Lord and Savior. (Rev. 22:16) “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches; I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and MorningStarMorning.  
 



We closed on our house on January 19th and these are the smiling faces of Anne and Mike Jordon the new owners of our home. They are a beautiful family and they really love the house.
Goodbye NY
We bought a 1999 35’ Newmar motor home and are parking it at our son Rick’s house so all of our family can enjoy it.
There were a few things that needed to be fixed on the motor home  and Rich quickly made the necessary repairs.  Now that the motor home project is complete and we have a place to stay while the "Morningstar" will be out of the water, Rich and I made arrangements to have her hauled out.  We are not sure how long our boat will be on the hard or the amount of work involved to have the bottom done.  The bottom is loaded with blisters and there are a few other expensive repairs that have to be done. We decided to have Hutckins Yacht do the work. it is truly the best place to take it in the Jacksonville area.

 Rich asked dock master Paul to ask the marina owners if we could park our motor home in the marina parking lot while the Morningstar is out of the water and being worked on.  The OYCM owners said, “yes of course,” so Rich and I brought our motor home over yesterday afternoon. We parked it inside the front gate in nice cozy location.  See pics!
This morning after breakfast we finished moving our belongs off the "Morningstar" so Rich could drive her down the Ortega River to Hutckins Yacht Center.  It is only about a five minute drive from the marina. Today is a very exciting day for us.  Rich and I have waited a long time to begin  the process of getting the boat hauled out and the work completed. The Lord gave us beautiful sunny day with a warm sea breeze. The temperature is going up to 81 degrees.  Does life really get any better than this? 
 So as I enjoy enjoy this beautiful sunny afternoon, I decided it would be the perfect time to update my blog and share our joy and also our upcoming adventures.  Here are some pics!
