Since we last visited together several days ago, I have…
Eaten so many sweets that I should probably not have any for another year
Said good-bye to my dear friend, Brenda, after a delightful visit
Made lots of jewelry
Felt so grateful for our church~ they unexpectedly gave us a love offering on Sunday, prayed for blessings on our trip and healing for my dad.
Done a LOT of singing
Read Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks (nice twist at the end!)
Been in the car for many, many hours
Visited our dear friends, Greg & Tonja and their family. We were in a band together…so many good memories, hilarious stories, and always fun music when we’re together.
Paid no attention to my computer/internet/emails
Played Scavenger Hunt on the road with the family…
The Scavenger List:
9 Eagles~ check
20 Herds of cows: check and then some
10 Red barns~ at least 13
10 Water towers~ at least 12
5 McDonald’s arches (the REAL thing, not just the billboard arches)~ 4 (we MUST have been distracted!!!)
100 Hay bails~ counted 135, but quit after that
3 Silos, concrete or stone only~ 5
3 Windmills~ 3
5 “Z’s”~ 4
3 policemen~ 4 (thank goodness, they didn’t pay as much attention to us as we did them!)
2 U-Hauls~ 0 (epic failure!)
4 yellow cars~ 6 (mostly all in Arkansas…hmm!)
NOT been able to talk the kids into counting road kill…Nate was game, but…
Consumed more junk
Felt like I was ALMOST on vacation…maybe in another few days, I’ll really feel that way
Tried to let worry go. Let it go, lay it down.
Felt like my hiney was stuck to the leather interior for GOOD
Thought we were never gonna get there
Laughed a lot
Spaced out a lot
Read a lot
Thought a lot
Noticed that Minnesota’s rare humidity this summer is still nothing compared to Arkansas’s
Felt excited to see my family
Arrived at Honey & Papa’s~ YAY!!!
