'Living out L O U D'....Anna Maria Island and Cortez

All three of us cleared our calendar, (Charlie's in P.R.) and Lynn and I went to Cindy's for a day of fun (Cindy will work Sat. as pay back')
.....starting in Cortez Fishing Village and Cindy's neighbors property we decided to begin with lunch since we got a late start....

Ginny's Antique shop (in the old IGA building)
on the island served very healthy, good nutritional food....
we were proud of our 'food restraint'....

At days end....around 4:00 p.m. , Cindy reminded us of the 'best hamburger you will ever eat' and it was in Cortez at...Annie's Bait & Tackle Shop on the water at Cortez Bridge...
Feeling good we said, "Why not?"

My sweet daughter, Lynn, is so patient with my camera phobia and very nicely shows her hamburger for my 'capture the moment' shot....

To do it justice....I had to do a close up...can you believe this? (click on picture to enlarge)

'Melissa Collins this is for you, honey!'
This was just as you called... having been to Annie's Bait shop before you know the 'indulgence' .... of this picture....

Returning at days end to Cindy's 'living out loud' Cortez home we were satisfied with our much needed....escapade.....then we 'got serious'....
Cindy had a donation to Chuck & Terry's Kenya Missionary Journey, we prayed over that......
she also was purchasing Eden's Passion water to put in their 'overseas shipment container' , we prayed over that....
she told us about a 'varmint' which got in her attic and died and left a smell that NO ONE can find or cure....(a contractor recommended getting 'bob cat urine' and spread around her house as a deterrent for the future...she did that by buying it in granules, can you believe...
she also uses a 'tart burner' for the odor left behind...it worked great)....
we asked God for a Miracle in her attic, around her house, in her walls....everywhere.....
work is beginning on her 'antique' bathroom next week...we prayed over that and every person who entered her house to work on the bathroom.....
we prayed over her 'lot for sale' that has been on the market 4ever and needs to be 'reinvested' in her house'.....and then....we prayed over....HER!
Lynn and I asked God to send an 'out of the blue' miracle blessing of FAVOR on Cindy's entire life as only He can do....
Feeling totally blessed, happy and 'prayed up'.......Lynn and I left and returned to a very unexpected,' SWAT need' in Tampa...... oh, well, that's another story....for another day....
God says in Psalm 46:10...."Be still and KNOW, that I Am God!"
Yep, that's the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth...so HELP me God!
.......Cindy's, island flavor 'back porch'....too bad we didn't have time to 'set a spell'.....
