This year has been really crazy in many ways -- lots of unexpected events and happenings. Health problems have taken a lot of time I would normally spend doing other things. But God is still good.
One of the special blessings God gave us was a mini vacation in August. This was kind of like a late birthday trip for me. God opened the door for us to be able to take a very short trip out to the coast to visit our Aunt and Uncle and to see the beach at Topsail island.
The Lord gave us good travels, although the AC didn't work right in the car, and I got overheated because the sun was shining in the window on my side of the car. We were excited when we got there.
Over the weekend, our Uncle took us to the turtle hospital. That was very fascinating.
We also got to go down to the beach. That was a highlight of our stay. I brought home lots of shells and unique stones. Below are a few pictures.
