May I should have kissed him...

…it would have been interesting to see if anything would have happened.  Last night when I crawled/fell into bed I reached up to adjust my pillow and there he was.  Cold and wet.  A little frog about the size of a dime decided he wanted a tenting experience but we had other ideas.  Jerry managed to catch him and throw him out in to the cold.  I do hope he survived the throw.  Even if I had kissed him he probably would have only turned in to a pint-size prince.  And besides who needs a prince when I have Jerry.

We broke up camp early this morning and headed for Ft. De Soto Park, about 91 miles south of where we were.  It took a couple of hours to get there and we did not have camping reservations so we weren’t even sure we’d find a site.  But things worked out and all is good.  We have a site facing the water, surrounded by palm trees, a table, a grill and each other.

The whole day was pretty much overcast and our time was taken up with traveling, setting up camp and exploring the park.  We stopped at a bench and had a short glass of wine, then visited one of the beaches.  A walk on the beach brought the sun out just in time to watch it set. Once again it was breathtaking.  I asked someone to take our picture with the sunset in the background and as luck/blessings would have it he was a photographer.  Needless to say the picture turned out very well.  We hung around with him for a while and took, oh so many pictures, of the colors.  He would predict what the sky would do next and what colors we’d see.  I would bet you could compare it to watching the Northern Lights, without the cold.  This lasted for about 30 minutes or so then the moon smiled at us from behind the clouds.  What beauty!!  He also took some pictures of us and said that he would post them on his face book page (“God’s Beauty – cause” )  So from the name of his page we could tell that we were both on the same page.

We’re back at the campsite.  It is 7:30.  Jerry is fixing himself a brat and chasing raccoons.   I’m still in awe that we are here and doing this.  May each of you (or maybe it is both of you, who read this) have the same opportunities as some point.   

It is Sunday evening.  Truly a day the Lord has made and it would be hard not to rejoice in it.
