Another day, another winery


Today we found a church to attend and were blessed by the worship. Fr. Ron Browning of The Mission Anglican Church welcomed us and we settled in for some great music, a wonderful message about diversity and communion with some new brothers and sisters in our life.

We hope to go back next week on our last day in Florida. Just a note: This will be the final posting until next Saturday. Joan and I are taking a cruise out of Mobile, Alabama and will be out of touch for five days.

But I’ll save some photos and let you know how our trip went as soon as we return.
Anyway, after church we headed down Highway 98 on the outer islands for Destin, Florida at the Emerald Coast Winery.

It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed the 90-minute drive to the winery. Joan did a little wine tasting and we picked up some bottles for the Family Literacy Center Auction in April.

On our way out of Destin we stopped at a department store and picked up some things we needed for the cruise and then we went out to dinner at Logan’s Roadhouse because Joan was craving a steak.

I also learned last night that Joan doesn’t really care to be awakened at 4 a.m. in the morning and told another detail about Navy carrier operations that I forgot to explain to her at the Naval Aviation Museum. I was kind of restless about 4:20 a.m. and suddenly thought of a very important fact which I neglected to tell her on Friday. So when it sounded like she might be stirring I quickly told her what I had forgot to tell her at the Museum.

She was neither amused nor enlightened. “I’m not good at 4 a.m.,” she said later.

So, until Saturday, you are free to ignore Grandma’s Recess. Actually, you are free to ignore Grandma’s Recess anytime, but we appreciate your interest.
