Our grandson had some business to take care of around Mobile on Friday. He invited us to ride down there with him. Yesterday we went to Dophan Island and they swam in the bay for a bit, then we went across the island to the Gulf side and watched the waves crash for a while. They couldn't swim on that side because it was red-flagged, but it was so relaxing. I am so grateful that I got to go one more time. Since I can no longer share the driving and my husband tires out sooner, I am always afraid I won't get back again. I love the Gulf area so much. I always wanted to live in Alabama near the bay or gulf, but it never happened.

Our trip was unbelievably chill except for one incident of someone traveling at over 100 mph weaving between cars when the traffic was a little thicker. We almost got sideswiped, then he left the road shortly, but was able to recover and continue his speed and weaving. We did have to be detoured around a wreck between a car, truck, and motorcycle, at a shopping center entrance but it seemed everyone was fine. Even though the cycle had been laid down, the drivers were all standing around talking to the cops, and there wasn't an ambulance the whole time we sat in traffic, a few cars back. There was very little traffic on the road except near the bigger towns. I haven't experienced that in years.

The two youngest grandsons want to come to our house tonight before a whirlwind month starts for both of them. We are blessed that our grandkids want to spend time with us.

Even with a crazy schedule, I stayed on track during the trip.

I have had the craziest dreams for several nights. I can't always remember them but wake up with a weird feeling and know they were crazy. Last night I was up and down a lot because I took a diuretic when I got home. Each time I woke from a very nice dream and remembered them all. I love it when I have nice dreams and wake feeling good.
