Not Quite
My sister and I started driving again this morning, hoping to make it to our destination. It got quite dark on us quite early and we were tired, so we ended up staying overnight with just 2 hours to go tomorrow morning. We spoke to our cousins who were also travelling today, coming home from […]
Speed of God
This morning after breakfast, my brother hitched up his camper, fastened his dog in his truck, and left for the winter. He is heading to Arizona but will stop at beautiful sites on his way. After he left, I cleaned up the cabin a bit and enjoyed the fresh mountain air and scenery before I […]
God Spared Me
After my son got married and now has the support of an amazing wife and her wonderful Christian family, I have been telling my siblings that God could take me home with Him any time now. Today, instead of doing that, He spared me. I was out driving this morning and had come to a […]
Teamwork
I had to have a basal cell skin cancer spot removed from above my eyebrow yesterday. Actually, while the dermatologist was performing the outpatient surgery, he found that it had grown into my eyebrow as well. I was glad that my son picked me up after the procedure, so I didn’t have to try driving […]
Ever Loving
Today I got together with a friend. We hadn’t seen each other in several months and she was eager to hear about my road trip. I started with the highlights of the places we visited such as Mount Rushmore, a renovated opera house in Nebraska, the antique shop in Missouri, Lake Eerie, Maine, and such. […]
People in Cars
Today was a long, hot drive, but we reached NC, which was the goal. The rolling, green hills provided their own kind of beauty. There was a lot of traffic and cars going in and out trying to make a little headway in front of the many semi trucks. Some were a little less patient […]
Arrived
This evening my grandson and I arrived at our destination. I dropped him off at his friend’s house and told him I would miss him. We’ve been together for 8 days driving across this beautiful country. I felt so blessed to have this time with him so far. Now he will spend some time visiting […]
Near Miss
Yesterday as we were driving on a busy 5 lane highway, suddenly there was a big cloud of white powder or something that blocked the view of the car in front of me. I couldn’t tell what happened, but that car quickly moved all the way over to the left and disappeared. I hit the […]
Pivoting
This morning my grandson and I got up early and went to an event that he has been looking forward to. He packed up his camera things and we headed to the venue where the foot race was to be held. When we arrived, his camera’s battery was depleted. He wasn’t worried as he brought his […]
But The People
As we have been travelling off the beaten path, we have been meeting such nice, chatty people. There was the woman who made breakfast at the hotel who told us about her childhood participating in the rodeo and found out later in life that her family was involved in the Mafia. One store owner brought […]
