Happy 4th of July

 


Hooray and Praise the Lord! The bottom job on the Morningstar is completed and she will be launched on Monday! It has been four long months since she was taken out of the water. I have said many times that the Lord’s timing is not our timing and for some reason He has chosen for us to remain in Jacksonville instead of traveling north this summer.

Rich is at the marina today trying to finish up the work he needs to do on the Morningstar and hopefully he will be back in time to enjoying the holiday. The Lord protected the Florida coast and Tropical Storm Arthur, it just brushed our coast with strong riptides and we didn’t ever get any rain from it.  At least not at Rick’s house in Briceville.

We left Hanna Park Wednesday morning and brought our motor home back to Rick’s house. We are parked in the front yard because the pool company is busy working on their ingrown pool.

 On Monday after the Morningstar is launched and safely back in our slip we will come back and park the motorhome in the back yard. One of the main reason we bought the motorhome was so our kids could use it while we were living on the boat.  We had to replace the two air conditioners on the motor home but now they are working fantastic.  Now that July is here the temperatures are rising along with the humidity. Every day in July has been in the upper nineties. Ugh!

While we were in Hanna Park I was able to enjoy their shaded campsites for three beautiful weeks camped under nature’s canopy. The campground has acres of is untouched wilderness preserving the memories of Florida’s original beauty. Each day I was able to walk along the lake or go to the ocean and even got to ride my bike along the quiet roadways. Yes life is good in Jacksonville!

I will do a blog once we get back to the marina. Then I will go into more detail of the work done on the Morningstar and provide some pictures.  For now have a blessed 4th of July and remember to be thankful for the many blessings in your life.


 

Be Blessed!
