To Texas and Back
We drove for many miles. Two nights in motels with many hills between them and finally we were where we wanted to be; with our college kids! With only one day to be there, we packed it full with packing THEM so that they can both move into the next phase of their lives. That day was the 3rd of May, hubby’s and my 33rd wedding anniversary. We packed, ate out with our kids and daughter’s boyfriend, took pictures and laughed a lot. Hubby and I and Ryan-our-red-head son left to head home on the 4th. For many miles, we drove, spending 2 nights in motels, to finally arrive where I didn’t really want to go. Home. Why not? Because I wasn’t finished with having fun in Texas and because my girl stayed over there. This, however, is where I am supposed to be and I must think about what I’m thankful for in this place. Today, it rained and my goodness, the air smelled so good. That refreshment for the earth made my soul smile.

Good Morning, Gail. My wife and I used to travel from Central California to Western Idaho along the Oregon border to visit our then living MIL and her sister. It was such a long drive and I thought the hills would never end.
I am so happy to see parents and children on good terms as they become independent. We had our kids early in life and they were all gone in our early 40′s. That was a very big adjustment, but now there are all those darling great grand children.
Wishing you a very good day,

I ADORE that picture of you and your husband. So cute.
Great pictures I really want to go spent time with my sister and my other daughter catie and brie…maybe Jeff and I can make a quick trip sometime this summer
Glad you got through all that driving and have your red hair boy back! Happy 33rd anniversary to you and your hubby. Hugs!
@ABAHM - I’ll ALWAYS treasure our 30th because YOU and Bob and David and Mary and Janet were all part of it. That prayer on the beach….wow.
What a beautiful family you have! How neat that you were able to go to see them! Glad you had a safe trip!
Happy Mother’s Day, sweet friend! Hope you’re having a terrific day!
