Happy New Year! 2022

 It is supposed to be a time to make resolutions, so here it goes. I plan to do a weekly blog in which I just ramble and reflect. For those of you who know me there will be some familiar themes to my writing (um uh Disney, photography, family, and faith). Throw in some vacation recaps and some political rants and you may have an idea of where this will go. 

However, we will look first back to 2021. It seemed at times to snail along and other times it flew by fast. We visited as a family Walt Disney World on two different occasions (four if you count day stops to Disney Springs). My two oldest started new parts of their lives one going to Savanna, Georgia to school and the other to Sanford, Florida (that explains why we visited Disney Springs a couple times without going into the parks. These lead us into something we had always thought MIGHT happen but now it HAS happened. We have bought a house in Florida. Right now, it is referred to as the vacation home. In a few years it may become our retirement home. We have spent the last week of December and the first couple days of 2022 at our newest purchase. It has been a week of purchasing furniture and getting acquainted with the area and a day visit to Disney Springs where we ate at City Works for the first time but definatley not our last.  

Wyatt had another interesting year in which he got a colostomy bag and a g-tube. As I said before Corri is going to Savanna College of Art and Design (SCAD) and Nicklaus is going to Reformation Bible College (RBC). 

Plans for 2022 revolve around putting miles on our vehicles between Florida and North Carolina with stops in Savanna of course. We do plan on spending our Spring Break in Florida and heading down for an extended trip in June. Most people who are part-time residents in Florida are escaping the snow and we are doing the opposite, at least for now. 

Other resolutions are eat more fruit and less sweets, drink more water and less soda, create more and tear down less. 

I'll leave you each post I shall leave you with a verse of my devotional reading today I leave you with Psalm 95:1 Oh come, let us sing to the Lord! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation...

Trip Review

 As I promised in my last post today would be about the recent trip the family took to Walt Disney World. I can truly say it was unlike any other trip to WDW I have ever took.  First off it only was the three of us (Jule, Wyatt and myself) while my daughter took care of the animals and my other son was staying at his apartment. We stayed at a new resort for us, Pop Century. For the three of us it was perfect, except that Wyatt fell out of the bed and cut his eye. I liked the access to the Skyliner which we took to EPCOT on our second day of the trip. We hit all four parks plus Disney Springs on our first night and last day. We ate at Paradiso 37, had dessert at the Salt and Straw, we also ate at The Plaza, Sleepy Hollow and the Boathouse. As for attractions we experienced the new Remy's ride along with Soarin' , Spaceship Earth, and Living With the Land at EPCOT. We also listened to the Voices of America and watched Harmonious. At the Magic Kingdom we hit Splash Mountain, Haun...

Week Nine

 February 26, 2022 Today would have been my father's 104th birthday. Ironically I am going to be going to a visitation for a mom of a friend and a celebration of life for a little girl who left this world at four. Both are enjoying being with Jesus and doing things that could not be done here on Earth by the frailties that hindered them both. One who had limits here whole life and one who had the limits that age puts upon us if we are blessed to reach that age. I do not want this to be sad but it is hard to think of things other than this when in a week I know of the two mentioned above and a sweet girl who went to meet Jesus and her sister who preceded her. Her family is planning a celebration of life in mid-March. The most positive thing I can say is that my faith tells me that one day we will all meet in heaven.  It just makes you hug your love ones a bit longer and remind them that they are loved daily and not cry over the small things.  For those of you who do not kn...
