I can’t believe my firstborn son will be married in two weeks!!! I had a great time visiting with Jason and his beautiful fiancee’ Vickie this week on their vacation to SC. The time ended with a trip to Cypress Gardens where we took a boat ride through the black swamp. We had a great time, even if they (that would be Pedro and Jason) did try to scare me by going off the boat “trail” to look for alligators! Thankfully, we didn’t see a single one! And we didn’t get lost either! I guess they taught me a lesson about taking risks but I wonder what they would have done if we’d met an alligator! One of my favorite pictures was the mandala bridge…or so I named it because the reflection in the water made a circle. Now starts the countdown to TWO sons’ weddings (secondborn son, Corey, marries beautiful Sarah in 40 days!) and the bridges they will cross into their futures that I pray will be bright and full of love and adventure.
