On the road again

Alan and I have had a wonderful time at Tybee Island, GA.  The weather, even when Sandy was churning up the coast was still not bad.  The waves were magnificent, but we had no rain, just lots of wind.  I guess SHE was saving up the rain/snow for the northern coast. 

I remember the 1962 storm which took out whole towns along the Jersey coast.  The current governor is too young to remember that event, and the POTUS was just a toddler.  The devastation along the coast is reminiscent of that '62 storm.  It's not unusual for Jersey to get one or two of those kinds of storms in a century.

When I was a little over a year old I do remember a hurricane (1944) and daddy got out kerosene lamps and a small kerosene heater and we sat in the kitchen with the gas oven on for heat as well as the kerosene heater.   I really do remember sitting in the kitchen and all of a sudden, "THUMP".  A tree went down, but missed the house.  Then right on the heals of "THUMP" number one, we heard another "THUMP".  Tree number two went down.  That was all we had to lose in the back yard.  Fortunately the wind was blowing away from the house, church, and garage.  That year the Jersey coast was destroyed also. 

But, once again, I digress.

Yes, Alan and I are on the road again.  Our last trip for the year.  We'll be home in a couple of days, and my daughter will have to return to her home.  I hope she's had a blessed time in the condo.

I want to get a time share down here.  They are going for $905 dollars.  Can you imagine?  25 years ago they cost around $10,000.  But Alan says, "No thanks." 

I thought I was dead for a couple of days earlier this week.  I had absolutely no pain whatsoever in my legs or arms or shoulders or neck or anywhere on my body.  But after four days of pain-freeness I was knocked to the ground again.  I'm coming out of it now, I think.  I have been exercising like mad to ward off the charlie-horses that are common to me because of fibromyalgia.  I was hoping I had found a formula to rid myself of the pain, but apparently I didn't.   Well, at least I know I'm not dead yet because there will be no pain in heaven.

God was good to give me a few days of respite.  I pray he will once again bless me with deliverance and freedom from the pain. 

FYI, my knees are feeling great, no pain there.  Now, I'm ready to get to today's morning exercises and stretching which seems to help some.
