Sam And Saundra's Year Long Adventure - Part 181

Sam And Saundra’s Year Long Adventure - Part 181

The End – The Beginning

9/28/09 - 10/08/09 – 10/23/09

The last chapter in Sam and Saundra’s Year Long Adventure.

We are home.  No ruby shoes needed – we have Brutus! The evergreens are still ever green.  The others have tired of succulent, water-filled green and are bursting out in shades of red – from pink to bright to burgundy – glorious yellows and oranges – even a few tropical limons. Getting ready for their dark, formal, two-toned silhouettes. In the midst of all this changing beauty --- our Granddaughter,  Samantha, is born. Tiny and perfect. Deep blue eyes. Ready to cuddle. Other family members ignored as we each personally welcome Sami into our lives.

We first heard of Sami on 02/09/09 in Isla Aguada.  We have seen pictures, set to music, of Sami swimming in her own cenote many months ago. We thought we were ready for her – old hat and all that.  But she has captured us anew. Sami has now joined her parents, brother, great grandparents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. She has already started her own ‘Life Long Adventure’.

Sam and Sami

I want to thank all of you for listening to me.  Writing and sharing this journal has helped me in so many ways. Poor Sam has been my first audience, sometimes for multiple out loud readings of each and every chapter. We have been so blessed to be able to experience this adventure. The best part for me is … this one right now…oh wait!  … ok, this one right NOW!  How Great Is Our God!!!! LOVE, Saundra
