Happy 4th of July to everyone. It is very hard to believe that it is July. Our family keeps asking us “when are you coming home”? Our answer is still the same, “we don’t know!” We surely miss everyone, but when we do come home it will be only for a short visit. Even with what has happened to us, we still love what we are doing. Don and I both love being retired and living on the boat. The people working on our boat said that she was really a tough and well-built vessel. I miss my home (house) sometimes, but I have grown accustomed to being on our boat and now it is home. This probably is very hard for some people to understand, unless you are a sailor. It definitely is our new found love.
I tell my kids when they question me about what we are doing that just to remember: It is not the number of breaths you take in life, but the moments that take our breath away, that really matter. This is one thing that I know our kids will never forget about Don and me. We live life to the very fullest and if we die tomorrow we will have lived a happy and fulfilled life.
Justin and Holly just lost Granddad (Orville Woodson), which is the last grandparent that was still living. Granddad will be missed by all, but I know that Justin and Holly thought the world of him and he and Ganny will be with them forever in their hearts. God Bless you, Granddad and we are so blessed to know that you are with Ganny once again. I know that Memaw and Papa met you too. What a wonderful reunion by these friends.
Our sympathy is sent to David and John and their families.
Until next time…We send our love,
Don and Janis; s/v Plane to Sea
