Your vacation sounds like a delightful blend of family moments and good food and gorgeous scenery. Well, okay...there was the matter of being squished into the back seat and a grueling journey and that was not delightful at. all. That brings to mind a trip that our family took when my sister and I were teenagers. We drove across four states in the back of a Cutlass Supreme with NO leg room. We had to take turns stretching our legs diagonally while the other had her legs folded up under her. Oh, the agony! Longest trip of my life. <br /><br />I am sorry to hear of your brother-in-law's passing. May your sister, and your entire family, know God's peace in learning to walk life's path without him.

I can identify with swollen ankles, every day with this heat and humidity but my lazyboy chair is perfect for easing the puffiness.<br />I didn't realize your sister was in the hospital when her hubby was brought in, a difficult time for her and sad for the whole family.<br />You know you're in my prayers.<br />Hugs.Judith @ Lavender Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361061491506137380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869212964119628808.post-9782995326545808852016-08-03T14:56:01.474-07:002016-08-03T14:56:01.474-07:00Dear Debby!

Then I read the sad news of your brother-in-law's passing. I am so very sorry for your loss. We also have had a bereavement in our family. My father-in-law passed away a little over a week ago. He had a good long life at 95 years of age. It is so sad to hear of a soul taken long before their time.
