Back in the day before we got rid of cable I remember watching a show called Monk. Now if  you have seen this show you know that this guy is paranoid beyond belief of germs. He doesn't like to shake hands or touch strange things and would always have to touch a light post when he walked by it. Well I don't have to touch light posts but I am turning into the germ ninja. I find these things often coming out of my mouth, things like-" wipe the cart handle down you don't know who's touched that or let's move into another aisle that person is coughing up a lung, or don't put your hand near your face you just touched that door to the store, don't even get me started about the gas pump.Anyone need some Germ-X? My friends know that I'm a bit on the obsessive side when it comes to germs but I really don't like having sick kids or enjoy being sick myself. So far this quest that I'm on has worked for the most part. We might get a cold once a year but then that is short and sweet. I'm not one to bring my kids to someone's house when they are sick and simply ask the same in return. But some people will say things like " it's good for their immune system." Oh please! Don't get me started on that one. LOL! Does anyone else have this phobia? It hasn't taken over my life by any means but I was just thinking about it and thought I'd share my little weakness hee hee!
Have a most blessed day!

My husband works up at Cape Canaveral Air Force Base and he had been telling me about this Trident Basin where the subs come in for maintenance before heading back out to sea. He said that it's loaded with fish and they are allowed to bring one "guest" in with them to fish. Well yesterday we went. By the time we drove 45 mins. stopped to catch some bait, get my pass, get our fishing passes and get set up we only fished for about an hour before the storm hit. But let me back up to when we got there. In just about a 20 foot area I saw manatee, snook, snapper, flounder, nurse shark, sting rays, bait fish, sheepshead and more. I mean I got all excited. This trident basin is huge, so if I saw that many fish just looking in that small an area just think what's out there. So we started fishing and I got a small fish and had hits and lost a couple and my husband caught 3 flounder. But like I said we had to stop early because of the famous Florida thunderstorms. We hunkered down (hurricane term, used way to much during hurricanes) and we were going to wait the storm out but realized it just wasn't going to let up enough to fish. The Cape goes into phases and if it's a phase 2(which means lightening within 5 miles) you can't be outside.So he took me on a tour of the Cape instead. If you didn't know where you were going you'd get lost. This place is huge and we only stayed on the south end of it. He showed me the launch pad that he works on and while driving we saw lots of deer. The beach there is deserted because civilians can't access it ( that's another date hee hee). I got to see the lighthouse up close, but it was still raining so we didn't get out. He took me to an old graveyard that a ship captain was buried with 4 other unknown people. There are graveyard scattered throughout the cape where settlers used to live there way back in the day. As we were driving by I saw a tribute to John Glen and he's like " yeah that's the complex that John Glen first went into orbit," and I'm like stop man that's history lol. So we took pictures the best we could of the signs, but like I said it was getting dark and still kind of rainy. You can make out what the plaque says though. How cool to be standing just a short distance away from where the first manned launch was. He showed me the place where a rocket blew up on the pad and the astronauts all lost their lives. You just don't realize what a major risk it is every time they launch something. They shut the pad down after that. I'm assuming in respects to the astronauts. Here are some pictures of my trip. They aren't great because of the conditions but still cool if you have never been  on the Cape.


I guess you can't read this as well as I thought. It says:
John H Glenn Jr
The First American To Travel Around this Planet began his 3 orbit flight from this launch complex in Friendship 7 of Mercury Atlas no.6 at 9:47 am February 20, 1962. Project Mercury was a vital step on man's journey to the moon.
Cool HUH?!


We'll be going back maybe this weekend. Hopefully I can get some better pictures. I hope you enjoyed your little tour of the Cape. My husband gets so much info and stickers from the Cape. If you are ever doing a homeschool project on Space let me know I'll see what we could send you.
Blessings!
