. . . make every effort to add to your faith, goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being in-effective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ~ II Peter 1:5-8
We began today with donuts!! You can never go wrong starting a day like that! Jupiter Donuts is located just up the street from Sandy and Eric’s! If I lived there – especially after having eaten one – I don’t know that I could pass them up, and I’d very shortly end up weighing 400# (or more)! Thanks guys!
Someone we met said they weren’t any different than Dunkin, but he was VERY wrong!
I’m thinking he’s just not a donut man, but I’m having trouble wrapping my head around that possibility.
Who doesn’t LOVE donuts??
We sat around jawing and playing with Eliana for about an hour, and then it was time for us to invade Adam and Jessica’s new digs. Of course, they don’t actually own it yet, but today was inspection day and the relator said we could all come as long as we stayed out of the way. So we did. After a quick walk around, Blaine and I shared the patio swing until the rest were ready to leave. But they did call Blaine away after the inspector left to ask about some electrical stuff they weren’t sure of. I felt badly for the current owner’s dog Toby, who was left in her cage. Sweet, older dog, but she seemed really out of sorts having all these strangers in her home. She was all whiny and shaking. If all goes well, they can move in in about six weeks, if I remember correctly. It might’ve been four.
Jessica announced that she and Eliana were going to Chic-fi-la, so the rest of us decided to join them. The food was good as always, but we were still full from donuts. Still, we managed to cram every bite in. Of course.
After lunch, Jessica and Eliana left us to return home and the four remaining returned to Eric and Sandy’s. Sandy and I went to Subway to pick up dinner, and then we were off for our sunset cruise! How many people do you know who can take you on a dinner cruise?
More adventure!
We drove? Sailed? Not sure what you call it since we had neither tires, nor a sail. Anyway, Eric steered the boat up some canals to check out the homes and boats.
Along the way, they discovered one of their friend’s new home and she happened to be there, so we pulled up to her dock and went inside to look around. It was a little larger than Adam and Jessica’s (she said sarcastically), but honestly, I think I’d choose theirs over the higher-priced one. It’s just too much house for me. Course, that could be because all I could think of was, “Who’s gonna clean all this?” I suppose if you can buy the house, you can probably hire someone. They were preparing to install three 65’ TVs. Moving day is next week.
With Adam at work, Blaine (formerly 2nd mate) had to step it up.
No pay raise, though. : )
I don’t know how high the ceilings were, but they were much higher than standard.
That’s why you can’t see them in any pictures. : )
Back to the water we go! And to the sand bar for dinner.
What a nice afternoon/evening! We returned to Eric and Sandy’s until we were too tired to stay up any longer.
It was sooooo much more beautiful, huge and bright than this picture would have you believe!
