Flight to Ohio

Packing the last few items for my trip to Ohio. Will be staying with Chad & Christy for 2 weeks.

Next Saturday is the Dayton Air Force Marathon and the next Saturday Chad has tickets to see Ohio State vs Kent State.

In between there are Church Cekebrations, multiple volleyball games for Chloe and Charlotte.

Chase has his homecoming football game and then the homecoming dance.

Sounds like a packed 2 weeks.

I make these plans, and I as it gets closer to time to go, the less I want to go.

Not just to Ohio, it was the same when I went to Daytona Beach a few weeks ago. It makes me very anxious.

9:30 and basically uready to go.
Just need to turn off the water, lock the cabinets, and take the trash out. I do not need to be at the airport until 2:45. Sitting here with nothing to really do. Those times are the worst emotionally.

I have already taken my anxiety medicine, had 1 for breakfast. Packing them in my personal item for the flight so that I can get them if needed.

Peanuts Bowl

Somehow one of Jeni's Peanuts bowls somehow cracked in the cabinet. Not sure if I was moving things around and it got squeezed between something. A set of 3 is now a sett of 2.

I will miss you forever

I'm sorry I cry all the time, I'm sorry I have a hard time laughing or smiling, I'm sorry cause you made me so happy and I know you wouldn't want me to be this sad.

Please know my sweet love I am trying. But it's so hard without you here, I miss my best friend the one who was my other half. I miss how complete I felt with you. I miss the future we should have had.

I miss everything, I love you...

I will miss you forever...

Wood Carvings

Found two wood carved items in the center console of Jeni's car today.
The one that looks like an Owl has Buddy Overby's initials on it, the other one I am not sure about.

Flowers

 Flowers at Silver Springs State Park

Silver Springs State Park

Was really missing you today and yesterday.
Wish you could be here to walk around the  park with me.
I took a walk around Silver Springs State Park.

Beach closed

This gator is sunning next to the beach here at the campground.
Guess this would not be a good time to beach your kayak.
Not really any other good choice to get out.
Gores Lansing is 7-9 miles more down stream.
The State Park is 6 miles back upstream.

 

Rodman Dam

 Gary and I went for a driver through the Ocala National Forest out to Rodman Dam.

We saw a white tailed deer, an eagle, a scrub jay, and a roaster along the road out in the middle of nowhere.

Ocklawaha River

 After work I went down to the river to just sit by the river for a while. Did not see any manatee or the family of otters that live across from the benches.
