Disappointment....or Appointment!

This week Charlie and I were supposed to be in the Keys, pulling

fresh lobster from the emerald sea....

Our friends are.....Kurt & Melissa, Sally & Sam and Dockie and Ann.

Yep, they are all out in their boats.....having fun!

Charlie and I started out from Clearwater at 6:00 a.m. on Sat. morning...

pulling our boat.....about 2 hours down the road....

near Ft. Meyers, we soon realized that there

was something 'wrong' with our Explorer....

Knowing that we would soon be approaching a lonely stretch

of road called, Alligator Alley, we had to make a quick decision....

After praying....we decided to turn back and 'limp' home in

order to have our ' know resources' for repair...

It was a good decision....because it would not have been a

'band-aid type' fix....time is required....

Unpacking and putting away a weeks supply of unused 'fun provisions'

including Sam & Dockie's mustard, was a very

disappointing task.....

But in my heart of hearts, I had peace....

Knowing that 'everything happens for the best'....and accepting

that as a faith fact of life....

I am content....

So I just called Melissa for my 'lobster report' and she

said that it was' windy' and 'churnie' yesterday

but they did get 15 lobsters....

Not bad for a 'bad day'.....

Wonder what they will get on

a GOOD Day!
