Well hey. How ya doing? Capt Ron and I just got back from an epic almost four week road trip up to Idaho and back to Texas. Almost 5,000 miles racked up on that poor Chevy Traverse by the time we rolled back into the driveway. With two slobbery dogs. So, several states, poor gas station dining choices, questionable hotel room cleanliness — we made it. It was glorious and hard. We’ve been back five days and still tired. Good grief.
But it gave me time to do some thinking — especially through the grittiness of New Mexico. I haven’t got a dang thing sorted out in my life except to keep on keeping on. Be ever proud I’m an American that tears up over the Star Spangled Banner, a lover of animals, family and friends — but Jesus is always first. I’ve lived a long time. I’ve seen a lot. I’ve not lost as much as others, but I’ve not lived as easy as some, either.
Just a gal that never knows when to shut up. Pull up that chair…This could get good.
