The Joy of a Jeep

When I met Rocketman in 1994 he had a sweet Jeep.  He loved that thing.  But even before kids he sold it and we bought a Suburban.  (We have a strange car history.)  If I remember correctly we sold the Suburban before Child 1 was born.

For years a Jeep has been in my husbands heart.  He has endured Custom Vans, Minivans, a couple trucks, and a small SUV.  So when we changed jobs a couple years ago I got a computer and he got his Jeep.

While my family was here visiting over Thanksgiving Rocketman took them to the beach.  He taught my niece how to drive his beloved Jeep there on the open sand.  All this took place while my brother-in-law, my other niece and I were at the Apple store having regretted my decision to purchase another PC years ago.  Black Friday at the Apple store and we were still in and out in 15 minutes having spent a load of money. ……..beautiful photos of my new MAC to come!

Here’s the gang who went to the beach……

My sister tried to get one of those photographic moments with Rocketman and his Jeep…

But there was something (one) that kept sneaking into the picture….

She loves her daddy!!!!


It’s that time of year…

Well Florida is getting warmer and warmer.  We’ve had several day of actual “beach” weather.  88 or above.

We ventured out to the beach this week as well as another trip to St. Augustine.  I love both places.  It was fun having company and also venturing out while learning.

We happened to be there at low tide and the tide just began to come in as we were leaving.  We found all sorts of treasures.  I have searched for the exact name of this particular starfish but with no luck.  It was purple with orange edges…just beautiful.

and we sported our do-rags…

I captured these two guys resting.  From all the dead sea life on the beach they were fat and happy…

The kids ran and played around.  I love the action in this shot…

Here’s the whole motley crew….

And one of my sweet friends with her son…

More of St. Augustine later…
