SAYING GOOD BYE TO THE BEACH

Tuesday, April 9 – We would like to thank all of you who sent a email or left a comment sending us your prayers and best wishes for Marsha's dad. His hernia surgery lasted a little over an hour and a half. He did super. The doctor gave him a pain med pump which will be removed after 24 hours. The surgery was a success and he is on his way to a full recovery! He got to go home and as of 6:30 this evening was sleeping soundly in his own bed. Thanks again. The Power of Prayer can't be beat!

Today is our last day at John's place on Amelia Island. We had a wonderful time and will certainly be back!

We did a little shopping in downtown Fernandina Beach. It is the "downtown" area of Amelia Island. Here is just a few sights that we saw along our walk.

  8. Hey you guys, I wasn't looking at your tans, I was looking at what you were reading. I like Mary Ellis and other Amish books, and I like Nevada Barr, too. Good choices for beach reading! Thanks for the update about Marsha's dad. I'm glad to hear that he came through all right.

  9. What? You're leaving that great "cabin" on the beach?? I would have thought you might have decided to stay. However, I do understand the desire to head north where the rest of the family lives. In the meantime, I'd like to reserve a month at Paul's brother's place.

  20. Fernandina Beach is one of our favorite spots to stop on our way to Florida. What a sweet little town. We always try to have dinner at least once at Le Clos, behind the Hampton Inn.
