Where has the year gone?
In the spring we had the privilege of going to Guyana, Brazil, French Guiana, Suriname, Trinidad, and Grenada after flying back east to see our youngest son and family. It was a whirlwind trip. One that was postponed from last year and well worth the wait.
On our return, and by the grace of God, I was able to hop on a plane to southern California to be with my dad before he passed away. I’m forever grateful. The smile on his face when he saw me will forever be imprinted in my memories, and the time spent with my stepmother was invaluable. God is good.
I was home for a few days, then off to Montana to see the family. I returned home to regroup, grab Bill, and head back to Montana to help our eldest son and his family pack up their house and drive to Georgia. We were in two vehicles towing two trailers with our twin four-year-old granddaughters and two dogs. Bill and I rode shotgun, switching back and forth between cars, playing cruise directors for the girls. It was a great trip!
I tallied up domestic air miles, going back and forth to the East Coast to see the kids. We rocked out to Lionel Richie and Garth Brooks in Las Vegas and vacationed in Lake Tahoe for several days. I worked the primary and general elections as a poll worker (tomorrow will be insane). Bill took a tour down memory lane as he celebrated his 60th high school reunion with a bunch of “young at heart” old people, and the rest of the time has been spent volunteering, going to yoga, and weight training. Picking up weight training is my meager attempt at sticking my finger in “getting old’s” eye. Bill said no to weight training, opting for copious hours working in the yard. He thinks he’s 30!
First stop, Paris. To reminisce and indulge a bit…
