My Kind of Race

A couple of weeks ago, Caleb and David (my baby brother) ran a different kind of race. You ran 2 miles to the Krispy Kreme doughnut shop, then ate 1 dozen doughnuts and then ran 2 miles back to the original location. They both finished the race but not sure if they 'kept down' the doughnuts (if you know what I mean). But good news is that I finished up the box of doughnuts, therefore nothing was wasted!haha By the way, as you may have noticed, I am not in this picture or in other words, I did not run this race. I could have ate the doughnuts, it was just that 4 mile running thing!

Hey Y'all from Paula Deen's

Also in Savannah, we had lunch at Paula Deen's Restaurant (Lady and Sons). This is a funny one of Anna and I in her shop with her signature southern saying (hey y'all) and her glasses for sale.

Funny Tour of Savannah

Why take a typical tour of Savannah, when you can take a funny one in a hearse? We laughed so hard at our tour guide. She would scare people on sidewalks (and us, too.)

Four Gals at Forsyth Park

The fountain is so beautiful! Of course, so we could all get in the picture, we had to ask someone to take our picture. Which led to a whole conversation as she was from Alabama, yes we got their life story (and gave them ours). Where else, but in the south!

Sisters and Daughters Trip

What a birthday party! Anna, Sandy, and Rachel and I had a great time in Savannah. Anna, our travel agent coordinator/planner/and savings guru set us up in a great motel and list of great restaurants and God orchestrated the great weather (and faith moments all along trip). We made so many great memories like the tour we took in a hearse, the movie set that was blocks from our motel (yes, I got pictures of Robert Redford), lunch at Paula Dean's restaurant, the 178 steps in lighthouse on Tybee Island and our fun quest of Goodwill's along the way.

Priceless Gift

This was my 4th trip to Ecuador and I can certainly see the advantage of developing a relationship with the people. This is Sarah and her dad, Pastor Lucas (Ecuador's equivalent of the apostle Paul). Before we left on Friday, she came by and brought me an authentic Quichua hat . I was so overwhelmed by such a gracious gift. Sarah worked with us our first trip over and we developed a 'sisters in Christ' bond right away. After she had a baby (2nd trip), thanks to my sister and yard sales, we have taken gifts of clothes for sweet baby Israel since then. I do not know how much the hat cost her, but to me it is priceless. A hat and a friendship, go figure!

I am colder than I look

If you didn't know, everyday in Ecuador is every season. Layering clothes is the only way to survive! This scarf became my best friend (although it looks like I'm on mission trip to India).
