Heading to the Sunshine state . .

and oh, the sunshine that I'm sure we'll 'enjoy' while we're there! I'm finding that the older I get, the more I enjoy Summer over Winter, although those Florida summers are really tough! I'm sure we'll all survive just fine though. Might even find time to go to the beach!

The reason the kids and I are headed to Florida is to spend some time with my parents. 2 weeks my Mom had her thyroid biopsied and the results weren't very good. She is scheduled for surgery on Tuesday, July 15 and afterwards they will know the exact diagnoses. We will be spending a few weeks with Dad and Mom as we work through all of this, and of course helping with laundry, grocery shopping, cooking and all those other things that go by the wayside when one doesn't feel well.

I will try to keep updates here as often as possible. Please keep our family in your prayers and especially Mom, as you can imagine this has been very difficult.
