Okay. I will arrange my finances around that so that I can eat while I'm gone. Not sure I'll have enough to buy a postcard though. I'll just sent a pic via iPhone saying, "wish you were here"!

If we were all counting on the admin pay to be able to eat, we'd lose weight pretty quickly. :D
I would love the beach pic though... I could set it as my desktop background for a while--so you really can do that if you want to. You have my email addy somewhere... :D

This person looks like another poser to me, just checking over recent posts. It's a big "yawn" thing for me.

I'm "holiness", I even attend a conservative church.... and I go to bowling alleys, fairs and beaches.
So now you know one. :)
Just curious, is everyone in your church as conservative as you are? Because I know a lot of ultra-conservatives, and most of them aren't even as conservative as you.

Thanks for the response, when I grew up in UPC these things were preached from the pulpit namely : fairs, bowling alley's Movies, going to the beach. Things have changed through the years.There are differences among people and personalities and practices.I guess a lot of the convictions I have stem from the fact that I saw a lot of "drift" in my youth.... and I'm the father of 4 children and I'm responsible for teaching them Godly Principles. My wife came from a VERY Conservative background ( closed toe shoes, no red) so I have never had a problem with her.

The house is nicer in person than the pictures! We are in love with it! We're going to try to come as a family every other year and stay at the same place. I think it'll be great to have the memories once the grandkids start coming to taking vacation together here. The third floor has two (full size) bunkbeds for kids! So, the house can sleep up to 18 people. There are five (king size) bedrooms!!! It's beautiful and the pool is so nice to have - - totally private!
We went out on the beach at sunset last night and there are very few people around - it's going to be a perfect week!
Thank goodness it's sunny! The weather is going to be ideal this time of the year!
Lacey, we are renting it (off season price too)!!!

Ok ok if you insist go ahead and enjoy your sinful vacation at the beach. I will try to keep a guy out of jail in the morning while you play in the sand, if I am unsuccessful he will get a 180 day vacation, if I am successful I may get a vacation out of the deal.

It is beautiful! The water is so clear this trip - the past few times I've been down it hasn't been this clear! Warm waters, nice temps, sunny so far - - just absolutely beautiful. We are laughing and just having a great time! It's the first for the five of us to take a trip together and I think is really a great bonding time for our family! I feel so blessed!

That part of the country is a great place for a vacation without costing as much as many places...especially if you know what time of year to go.

Everyone is getting along great, laughing and having fun!!!!

Thank you Renda, but it didn't stop me from having the time of my life even one little bit! I just enjoyed it with a sore and swollen neck:) LOL.
I enjoyed shock-a-moo in New Destiny Worship Center and had major fun with my friends...we went out on the speed boat and saw many dolphins...it was awesome!
You know...Florida is my HAPPY place. I will retire there in a few years:thumbsup
