They cut down my trees
Today they cut down all the big trees behind the townhouses. :-( I talked them into letting me keep my small trees. It's now hot and sunny back there with no shade relief.

My New Pineapple Plant
Went to the Red Barn Market today. I came home with a pineapple plant. : ) It will be very tasty. : ) You have to love living in a freeze free zone. :)

Non-Existent Mark Schultz Concert in Virginia
My initial blog was filled with bummerness about this trip to Virginia. Mark Schultz concert canceled at the last minute due to rain, lightening, tornado warnings, getting stuck outside for hours and waiting for my ride, being soaking wet and cold, not having a working cell phone to call anybody, having difficulties with the kids, not making it home Monday and having to stay overnight in the Atlanta airport hotel, etc, etc.
My *update* is filled with the realization that I’ve ‘taken life for granted’ and have been missing the blessings in my life. The fact it’s my 17th Mark Schultz concert/event and some people have had 0 concerts or have not even been blessed with even experiencing Mark’s music at all. I get to travel “all the time” and have very few travel problems. The Floridians experiencing the fires burning down their houses would have loved the showers of rain I was annoyed with. I was able to spend the weekend with my favorite kids who I love so much; kids are kids, things happen. I miss them so much as I used to be able to see them every day if I wanted. I was able to spend a full day with my friends at Busch Gardens the day before the concert, that was a blast! We had never had an opportunity to go to the theme park together. Some people do not have a roof over their head and have to deal with storms all the time. I made it home eventually on the airplane and I have the blessing of being able to walk in my door at home and start working at home. I was able to meet some wonderful ladies who I spent from 10:30 am in line with getting to know and sharing Mark Schultz joy with. I was able to hear 4 wonderful bands before Mark was supposed to go on. During my struggles I kept thinking long and hard, there is a reason for all this, God had a plan, there is a reason he sent me all the way to Virginia for a praise and worship concert that was going to be canceled. I could not see it until I heard a story on the radio that woke me up. Life is good, blessings are good and struggles only make me stronger and appreciate life more. As far as my traveling, I’m all geared up and ready for another Mark Schultz concert on June 1. ;-) I love traveling and wish I could travel as often as Mark does. That would be a dream come true to be able to travel all around that often and meet new people. I love meeting new people. I will pray before I leave again, as I always do, that I will once again return home safe and be safe during the trip, which was exactly what I was given this last weekend.

Virginia
I'm up visiting my friends 6 kids in Virginia. We made "U Rock Mark" signs today for Mark Schultz because they love his music. They know the words to his songs.
