Are there Redvines in Heaven??

My kids and I took a trip to Target after picking sissy up from school today, we had to exchange some towels..anyway, as I always do when going to Target, I HAVE to have some Redvines licorice...they are the only store that sells them!! I was so excited to be leaving w/my sugar fix, so I was generous w//my kids, giving them 2 each, which they had eaten before we even reached the van....Anyway, we got home, visited Pop and Monie, where Pop proceeded to eat 3 of them, followed by Jake and Audrey "sneaking" around and eating about 3 more each(after I had told them not to, I obviously didnt know they had)...So I had the package in my hand ready to eat my 3rd piece, when I look AND ITS EMPTY.....so my ?? is,,,,Are there Redvines in Heaven, cuz Im getting my OWN package.....

MYRTLE BEACH-2009

Sorry it took so long to blog about our beach vacation...I was waiting to see if the pics actually made from my camera to the computer....no luck....something about not having a scanner, or something..I think its my cord...anyway....We had a blast....Emma Grace made it thru 4 hours of driving and the last 2 were less than peaceful....and to this day, she REFUSES to ride in her carseat...go figure....she LOVED the beach...I put her in the sand to see what she'd do 1st, she just pushed her chubby baby fingers beneath the warm, rough sand and was good from there...as long as there was sand, she could have stayed there the whole day!!...Jake was more interested in the hotel pool and water park, oddly enough, and couldnt wait to put his lifejacket on every morning around 9am, so he could jump off the deep end...Audrey was ALL about the ocean water and collecting seashells..We must have brought about 200 lbs of shells back home...she took all her classmates one , as a souvenir...my baby girl, always thinking about others...Daddy just enjoyed playing w/his kids in the ocean, by dunking them, or riding them on his back, or boogie boarding together...they had fun just being able to play w/daddy ALL day, instead of just at night..........Me........R E L A X A T I O N................... Russ was kind enough to take the kids for me alot of the time (which he hardly does..lol) so I was able to enjoy God's peaceful creation and get a good tan at the same time..ha ha....we did have one mememorable moment we will NEVER forget...on our last night there we decided to eat at Shoneys, because we were getting broke at that point, and a nice cheap dinner sounded good...As we sat down to eat our food from the seafood buffet, our "neighbor" at the table next to us kept saying something...we couldnt understand, till he spoke the only clear word I heard him say which was, bug....oh yeah....it WAS a bug,,,a Palmetto cockroach to be exact...he found his way to the top of our table and was crawling thru our plates !!!!! I was horrified...I marched directly to the Mgr, and the rest was history..other than that particular experience, we had a marvelous time at the beach!!!
