Summer goes by so quickly. As a child, I remember waiting for the days of Summer to come so I could enjoy the warm weather and swim. I love the water, although have never been into water sports except paddling around in the calm waters or being at the beach with calm waters.

Next May will be a beach trip to Mexico as my daughter will marry her sweetheart of 5 years. They will be married on the beach and I am so excited for them as they begin their married life together. I was honored to be asked to witness the proposal on the Parkway in the Blue Ridge Mtns. in May.

I praise God for my family everyday. They are healthy, loving and care about others. Soon, I will have a new member to be thankful for- my future son-in-law. I am blessed beyond measure.
