Well the official first day of the party but some have gotten a head start, hahahaha. I got here with my brood a little after 11 as I know that I will be here until after the fireworks at 10 so the kids will be very tired as I am sure of it. The baby will not take a nap because of to much excitement in the air and my other two are hanging on though their eyes are very tired. Charie did not get a nap today so I picture by the time I pull out of here they will all be sleeping soundly. Anyway lots of people here and still more to come as Pete and Sheri should be pulling in around midnight but I won't get to see them until tomorrow. Lots of pictures being taken by a lot of people so I am sure that there will be plenty of them going around for all of you to enjoy. For our entertainment we have had, Ginny singing and dancing. Jean and Kent were singing and dancing together as well. Brad and I were singing for a bit. Jan and Ken were dancing on the floor in between all the kids who were dancing as well. Terrie is such a wonderful host. Jessie is out back with her kids by the pool with a lot of their family and friends. Most of the day the children are out in the pool and a few adults take turns going in the pool with the children. Regina stopped by earlier in the day from Sarasota and was down for a few hours before heading back to her family at home. Glo has been relaxing and playing with little Billy. When Glo does not have the baby then Charie is trying to get him to fall asleep, so far today nothing is working. Alan has been around to make sure everything stays in running order. There has been food galor to eat. I walk into a nice spread laid out and then they took that down and put up another spread for dinner time for all to eat. After that settled down we had cake and cookies and sang happy birthday to America and also sang the Star Spangled Banner which was nice. Terrie has a lot of her family over as well and other then her son and daughter in law I do not know them all and they are not with big church so you probably do not know them either. Several bloggers from all over have been calling at Terrie's and talking to different people here at the party. Unfortunately some may have called and not gotten through as their are over 40 messages on her phone right now, hahahaha. Right now they are all heading out to watch the sunset before getting back in time to start the fireworks show. Now lets see did I forget anybody, I hope not, like I said about 30-40 people here but I do not know them all but very lovely to meet so many that up till now I have only read their blogs. Forgive me if I left anything out up to this point.
May the Lord bless you and keep you

Was great to meet everyone - little Billy is a DOLL and it was nice to meet the rest of the crew outlined above. And to those of you at the Bash, I got home ALOT quicker than I got there, thus proving Terrie is far better at directions than Mapquest...good thing, as I had no survival provisions for the ride home!
And for the record, I shall never hear Creedence Clearwater Revivial again without thinking of Kents beat boxing...
Hope you all have a fantastic time!

. Continue to be faithful, deliverance is near, obedience must be seen, be an unconditional blessing as He continues to bless you.
This time is short, serve Him well, serving all.
Without exception.

I got to talk to Penelope on the phone. It was so cool Ginny handed me the phone when I was asleep so she got to listen to me while I was finding my way to the kitchen to make coffee. What a sweetheart!!! I love the accent and she is such a lovely person too. We talked for about an hour. I think I will be going to the beach with Ken and Jan today for a while. Pete and Terrie just left for the bank and the grocery store. Can't wait to hold little Billie and meet Charie.
More later!
