Shuttle Flight, Anniversary and More of Georgia

Blog Prompt: On May 29, 1996, Space Shuttle STS 77 (Endeavour 11), lands. Would you want to take a ride on the Space Shuttle? Why or why not?

The picture to the left shows what I see from my back yard when the shuttle blasts off.  Someday I will get over to Kennedy Space Center and see what the space program is all about.

The idea of going in the shuttle hasn’t really crossed my mind.  The people that do that have to be some of the bravest people ever!!  So, yes, I am a chicken.  I admit it.  I prefer to stay on the ground.

Today is also my 6th wedding anniversary with the most wonderful man in the world. I know I go on and on about him in my past posts, but he is one special man for sure. These past 6 years have been an extreme joy for me and I hope it lasts for many, many more years to come.

Someday I will post about how we met online. hehehehe

Our next adventure in Georgia was to go to #7 grand daughter’s dedication at church. She is such a cutie pie!!

Oh my goodness the day was hectic!!  My sweet DIL took her husband’s mother and myself to get a pedicure for Mother’s Day!  What a treat!  At the same time, all the men were suppose to be getting themselves and the children ready before we got home.  Which they did!  There were a few loose ends to tie up before we walked out the door, but we all managed to get to the church on time and even the kids still looked great!  Trying to get 4 children and 6 adults ready and be at the church on time seemed impossible. But, we made it just in time and everyone still looked decent for church.

The dedication service was very sweet and it meant a lot to my husband that we could be there with his family for this special day.

My husbands daughter planned a wonderful reception afterwards and it was nice to visit with other family members and friends.   This also meant that all 8 grandchildren were in a confined area for a period of time.  Oh, and there were other children present.  My husband and I just sat back and watched as the young parents were trying to keep their children at bay and we just smiled and laughed.   Grandparents can do that you know.

I also had a chance to take a picture of my husband and his 2 children. When we are together, we try to do so much in just a short period of time and I forget to take family pictures. This time I made an effort to get them in at least one shot.

My husband has wonderful children and I am so glad to be in the same family now.  I only have one child, so its such a joy to be around a large family.  God has truely blessed us.
