Today, Sunday, Peter and I drove down to the lake (Lake Illawarra) and went there for a little walk. After a very cold night the midday sun was beautiful warming.
On the 11th and on the 12th of May we went to the Coroner’s court hearing about the circumstances of our daughter’s death.

My friend, that was one beautiful walk with Peter at Lake Illawarra. The view, just breathtakingly beautiful. Nature at its best. I worked this weekend but just like you, was blessed to be close to nature Thursday in Galveston Island. My wife surprised me and my son with an overnight stay at Holiday Inn. We had a great time at the pool, had a delicious seafood dinner and the next day, got to walk by the beach at sunrise and later a yummy buffet breakfast. God is truly good and generous. God bless you and your family always.
May God bless you and your family always too, dear IT. Good to hear that, besides having had to work, you had a wonderful weekend with your wife and your son. I remember, when our youngest daughter was still a baby, Peter sometimes had to work as station-master at some station near a beach. On some lovely sunny day I would then catch a train with our baby daughter to where Peter was working, so we could at the end of his shift spend some time together on the beach before going back home in Peter’s car.
