However, after this last episode with MIL, we realize we can't leave for any extended time without getting her 24/7 care. Hoping Danny's brother will be able to come stay with her sometime in the near future so we can have a break.<br />Love and blessings!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-8825752859024357322018-04-13T17:49:49.439-07:002018-04-13T17:49:49.439-07:00such a beautiful relaxing place.

It was truly needed and refreshing in many ways. We all need those times of rest and refreshing, just like Jesus. There's a reason why God rested on the seventh day--our bodies weren't designed to go full tilt seven days a week. <br /><br />The hotel and its grounds are scenic and beautiful! And the cat...is a sweetie. :) <br /><br />Love and blessings!Kim Jollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08670842504983601263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-13467047007931305932018-04-10T07:31:57.945-07:002018-04-10T07:31:57.945-07:00Happy Anniversary to you and Danny, Martha.
