Time to share some photos of our fantastic vacation rental in Davenport, FL. Nan and Kelly arrived a number of hours before we did and Kelly took a bunch of photos before we got in. AS soon as you enter, the living room is on the left. And it shares floor space with the dining room.  You can see the doorway into the kitchen, as well. Standing near the kitchen to the door way, looking back toward front door and large staircase. From kitchen doorway From in the kitchen looking toward the rear of the house to the kitchen table. From the sliding glass back door looking into the family room From the side of the family room you can see the kitchen table in the distance and the breakfast bar mid-depth. Downstairs king Downstairs master bath garage had some games There was a large, family-sized bathroom at the top of the stairs Upstairs king/master Upstairs master bath this room  has two sets of bunk beds, and two closets. Twin room Queen master Queen room bath.
Beautiful pool and whirlpool Lanai.  Door at end of photo is to a pool-side powder room. This house rocks.

 

There is not a lot to say about the drive.  We did our normal thing where John drove til 9-something then we moved seats to allow him to sleep in the rear row.  Stewart rode shotgun and kept me away.  (The cup of coffee/cocoa helped to. Yowser, there is a reason I don’t drink it.  But it was good to be wired at that hour.)  John took back over around 2:30 A.M. and drove the balance.

Five of the kids were outstanding.  Katriel was calling for us to turn around and go home by about 9 P.M. Friday night.  She really was fit to be tied.  It was hardest on her, and by measure she was hardest for the rest of us.

We made it to our rental house.  It is the same lovely home we enjoyed in 2014.  We unpacked like professionals and the kids made use of the pool while Nan, Kelly, and I took Nan’s rental car back.  (Should I mention how they flew down in about 2 hours Saturday morning, got a rental car and were in the house within 10 hours of being awake today?)

It was an early night all around with big dreams for tomorrow.

Hanny is displaying signs of a cold.  Prayers for rapid healing and for it not to spread would be most appreciated .

Thank you for praying us down here.
