Sometimes, waiting or sacrificing things is actually just opening the door for God to grant us the desires of our hearts in a spectacular way...

A Full Weekend

The end of this week was very welcomed! 

After some much needed grocery shopping and stocking up at Costco on Friday evening... (Yes, they have one of those way down here... although... it is a bit different than in the States)...  We spent our Saturday on the beach!



I enjoyed  sitting in the shade of a large evergreen tree...reading a favorite book by Sally Clarkson, "Season's of a Mother's Heart" on my beach blanket... looking up every once in a while at my little ones swimming in the ocean and playing in the sand.  I savored the moment... 



Daddy took life guard duty as he instructed Sarah on the art of the Boogie Board.  She took to it well and was riding the waves in one after the other!




 Beach side flowers always catch my eye...
 

Whale Watching just south of Palm Beach


Sunday, we enjoyed a quiet morning... church at home... listening to our favorite Pastor at HBC.  We then prepared for a reunion with an old friend all the way from Ridley Park, PA and her Australian husband...


 



We had a great time catching up on 20 years of  life... she was only 12 years old when we first met her!  Her mom and dad were so good to us... we were the young married couple then.  They always made time to visit with us and had us over for dinner often.  It seemed only fitting to take advantage of the opportunity to return the favor... my only question is... where does the time go?

Ciao dears,

I have to admit I'm a bit jealous seing you all out on the beach while autumn fog has arrived in the 'pianura Padana'. Please have a look at your Skype - you might miss the occoasion to talk to an old friend every once in a while...

take care
uncle Andreas
