Treasure Island

 

Well we had a scare a couple of weekends ago.  Jon had a "spell" while doing yard work.   He tried to shake it off but couldn't and ended up going to the hospital and being admitted for a few days.  Everything seemed to be ok and we met our yearly deductible for our insurance lol.  But things like that are scary.  He got a "get out of yard work" forever card.  Evidently after you've had heart bypass the blood flows differently - it was scary and we can only hope they didn't miss anything.  There was debate about doing a heart cath and in the end the doctor didn't want to do it.  That's really the only thing that can positively tell a heart patient if everything is ok but it comes with risks.  So we are just keeping an eye out on everything and if he has any other issues he'll have one.  All his other tests came back perfect.  The doctor just raved on and on about his nuclear stress test.  He did his on a treadmill and got top marks better than most non heart patients.  It's all that exercising he does!

In fact we just joined a gym!  It has hydrobeds, massage chairs, tanning, and light therapy.... oh it also has work out equipment LOL

Well to celebrate No heart attack.... we went to the beach for the night.  For us it's hard to go places alone.  First our older kids act like we are abandoning them...you know the ones who go all over the world and leave us?  They couldn't believe we'd go to "our motel" without them LOL  Then we have to make sure we have child care for the three little ones.  Selah has her nurses and Sam and Sarah has their wonderful caregiver Ashley.  But Ashley's family owns several businesses so she has to work around that.  Also she is not legally allowed to give meds so we have to do Sam's eye drops before we leave and then get back the next day with time enough to do all the eye drops before bed.... But we managed!

When I was younger I wanted to be a photographer and even took some classes but these pictures were taken with just my Iphone.  NO editing or filters on the nature pictures.  I did lighten our faces in a couple but that's it.  I took the most amazing picture.....it was so gorgeous I could have cried.  I love the beach anytime any weather but it was on fire after a thunderstorm.  Everyone on the beach was looking at the sky- the sunset was gorgeous and the reflection on a bank of clouds to the south of us was just breathtaking! 

This.... (don't steal it)  Treasure Island Florida You should have seen it in person....It makes me realize how beautiful heaven will be if we can have a sunset like this on earth!  

Sunset reflections....

If I'd known we were going to have such a beautiful background I would have worn something besides a old Pizza Hut tablecloth shirt LOL

The sunset

I was literally going back and to taking pictures towards the west for the sunset and the south for the cloud bank

St John's Pass

Next morning

If I ever win the lottery you will find me at the beach!
