Summer is traditionally the time for vacations.\u00a0 We spend a lot of time planning where we will go and what activities we want to do.\u00a0 We make our motel reservations, check our airline schedules and decide which relatives will have the honor of “putting us up” for a few days.\u00a0 Planning is half the fun in taking a trip, especially if you are\u00a0going across the country.<\/p>\n
Then the big day comes and we embark on our adventure.\u00a0 Whether flying, driving, taking a bus or train, it always has it’s moments of frustration and impatience.\u00a0 What will happen if the plane is late? Will we miss our connecting flight?\u00a0 What if the flight is delayed getting to Miami; will the cruise ship leave without us?\u00a0 What is we have a train trestle downed because of a bad storm? What if the bus rolls over into some deep ravine?\u00a0 What if the car breaks down 1000 miles from home?\u00a0\u00a0 All of these things are possibilities, but not realities.\u00a0 Let’s not worry about unless they happen.\u00a0 Then God’s grace will be sufficient.<\/p>\n
We have just returned from a trip to the East coast to visit friends.\u00a0 The travel time was long.\u00a0 We got lost once in PA and once in VA.\u00a0 Most of the food we ate wasn’t healthy (except for the home cooked meals), so I had stomach issues.\u00a0 When we got to Bethany Beach in DE, I realized that my sand castle building days were over.\u00a0 I can’t even get to the sand in my wheelchair.\u00a0 I am really bummed about that.<\/p>\n
At Rehoboth Beach, DE we bought lots of salt water taffy.\u00a0 Some to use as Christmas gifts.\u00a0 We had fun watching the other people having fun, but somehow it just isn’t the same.\u00a0 We did some shopping and went back to our friends house.\u00a0 Then we sat around and watched videos and ate taffy until we could eat no more.\u00a0 After a few more visits with friends, the time had come to start the trek back to OH.<\/p>\n
On the way we stopped in VA to see our youngest son and his family.\u00a0 That was great fun.\u00a0 They have 4 little boys, including 5 year old twins.\u00a0 The we drove most of the way home in the rain and gloom.\u00a0 I watched the clock and Rich tried to stay awake.\u00a0 We were very glad to turn on our street and see our humble little home, after 10 days.\u00a0 Our kitties were relieved to know we hadn’t left them forever and we collected many purrs and kitty kisses.\u00a0 I love to travel, but there really is no place like “Home Sweet Home”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
