Good Afternoon Campers!!!!
It has been a very long time since I wrote anything ....I have been so busy but that is not an excuse... I just haven't got round to it...but I'm here today and ready to blow the dust off this poor old blog and catch up!!!
My Dad and best friend Di and her boyfriend came over at the end of September for a couple of weeks..it was an amazing visit....which included a surprise wedding on the beach! What happened was we were at our favourite Mexican restaurant and Di was telling us about a dream she had that she came on holiday and got married and my dad gave her away...well my friend Steve was with us and he pipes up "well I am a notary public so if you really want to get married I could marry you guys...and we could do it on the beach at my beach house" next thing you know Di's fella makes a "ring' out of a napkin and proposes!!!!!! The whole restaurant was clapping and cheering..we got a free round of shots and in the following week we managed to plan an entire wedding for under $500!! her wedding dress was $3.oo from the thrift store..the guys wore Hawaiian shirts..I picked up an Hawaiian skirt...we bought the booze at the base and a couple of Tiki torches and that was that!!! talk about romantic..it was just us and them and the most perfect sunset....they did call and tell his kids and their parents first but other than that it was a total surprise for everyone!! It was the most beautiful wedding I have ever been to and I was honored to be a part of it..I read Corinthians 1 verse 13...my Dad gave her away....it was perfect.... ;-)
I have also just got back from a whirlwind visit to San Diego to see hubby...we had a fantastic week together at the beautiful navy Lodge at North Island on Coronado island...our view was the beach..we literally walked out of our room onto the sand..we did a lot of sight seeing...spent time with his family..took a ferry ride..watched the Ronald Reagan come into port...ate tons of yummy Mexican food..it was absolutely what I needed and a good chance for us to reconnect...
Now the sad news.. a little girl from our community....about 3 miles from here..was kidnapped and murdered..she was taken as she walked home from school...her body was found at the trash dump...for those of you in the states you will have heard of this..her name was Somer Thomson and she was actually a patient of mine when I worked in peds.... i drove by her home yesterday to donate..the outside of her home is a shrine and it absolutely tore me up to see it...may that sweet little girl rest in eternal peace.... here is a link for anyone who hasn't heard about it...

Well that's all for now...I have a mountain of laundry I am plowing through...I need to go to the Commissary tomorrow..they ate everything while I was gone...LOL...I will try to play catch up on the blogs...I apologize for the lack of visits..hope everyone is doing well...
take care and have a great week!!

Missed you! I'm glad you had a great visit with hubby.
It's good to see a post from you. I hated to read about the little girl in Florida. But what a wonderful story about your friend and her new hubby! That was truly a lovely and romantic way to start their new life together.
Hi Lyn,
Yes I was in Jland. I came towards the end though, so I hadn't connected with too many people.
Hope your week is going well..

Glad that you are doing well. That you visit hubby in San Diego. I was ther twenty five years ago. I love it and always want to go back. I heard about that poor girl. It's a shame. People are greedy and mean. Have a great week. Nancy
