Home From Honeymoon
This evening I made the drive to the airport and back to pick up my son and his new wife. They spent several days in Germany seeing the sights and attending Oktoberfest in Munich. They shared some photos in an online album during that time. They fit right in with their German attire and were […]
Out of Comfort Zone
Today I went to lunch with some new friends from the church. They remembered that I was going on a road trip last time I saw them and were excited to hear all about it. Once again, as I recounted the experience, I found myself very grateful and somewhat in awe of the whole undertaking. […]
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. […]
Trip Reflection
I have missed my weekly Zoom meetings with my siblings for several weeks now since I was traveling. So, I was happy to connect with them today. I told them a couple of stories about the trip. I also visited a neighbor and told them a couple of stories too. Talking about the road trip […]
Home Safe
My grandson and I made it home today from our big road trip. It was a long, yet quick 5 day drive back. I dropped my grandson off first. When we pulled into his driveway and turned off the car, we looked at each other and together said, “We did it!” He was so excited […]
Beauty All Around
Today my grandson and I made it to the flatlands. We noticed the difference in environment and scenery. Even though it was still hot, it wasn’t as humid, so the air felt different too. As I drove, I thought about the beautiful world we live in. We only went through part of the country and […]
Blessed Detours
My grandson and I had another beautiful and hot drive today. First we drove around and looked at some places in NC that his family is interested in. In one town, he said a friend of his from NH had moved there. He texted her while we drove randomly. We ended up stopping in a […]
Back on the Road
This morning I went to Mass and prayed especially for my mom on the 1-year anniversary of her death. I loved that it was Corpus Christi – the Feast of the Body of Christ. In the homily, we were reminded that we have Hope that we will one day be in the arms of Christ […]
Beach Time
It was a hot day on the east coast. Seemed like a good day to head to the beach. Most of my grandson’s friends are finishing their last week of school, so I picked him up and we headed to Maine. My daughter in law’s family made an annual trip there for many years. My […]
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 […]
