Life is Okay



Yes, I know it has been a long time since I wrote. I will try to do better this time. It would be nice if I actually sat down and set aside some time to do this every week.

Well, my step-daughter’s soccer team turned out okay. I don’t remember our record off the top of my head, but we did really well. Granted her and I had a few moments where we had to see whose will was stronger. She decided that since I was coach that she wouldn’t have to do all the things the others did, well, that wasn’t the case.

As for soccer at school, this year I have decided to do something about it. We are running a summer camp this year so that we will be able to compete with the other schools that do play all year round. It just isn’t fair for us, but that is the way they do it in the other schools. I would like to do it with ours, but the kids all seem to go their separate ways. Thusly, we never compete as a team.

We did go camping in North Carolina this summer, which was nice. We had several mishaps on the way, but finally got there. It was nice to get out of the hot Florida weather. We were planning on going to New York and Maine, which are the areas I grew up. But, with gas prices the way they are, we just couldn’t afford to do it with the RV. Oh, well. Maybe another time we will be able to do it. A few years ago we went to where my wife grew up, so I wanted to take the kids to see where I grew up, since they have never been.

We do have one more major trip planned for the summer. We are going to Fort Wilderness which is Disney’s answer to camping. LOL We love it there because it is seems more like a Resort than camping. We love going there because there is so much to do. The kids love it as well because they get to be a bit more mature and we do give them the ability to go by themselves to the playground or riding their bikes.

Anyway, hopefully I will be able to give you another update on things after we go camping. Thank you for hanging in there with me.
