Paul and I just got back from a car trip to Colorado. About half the way there I said, "Whose idea was it to drive?" (Mine) Actually, we had a good time coming and going and having plenty of time to catch up, solve the world's problems, etc!
The purpose for the trip was to attend a good friend's wedding (Tommy Johnson and Emily Jorgensen for those who might know them). The wedding was as sweet as could be...a real testament to their Christian lives. Tears filled my eyes the entire time watching my "Little Tommy" taking his vows to be a wonderful mate for Emily. It seems like just yesterday he was just a little bitty kid at church. Our family has been so blessed to know Tommy and his family almost his entire life.
The great bonus to the trip was getting to stay with my sister, Kay, and her husband, Gary. We had a wonderful time visiting and just hanging out. We got to see Gary's most recent play, Wizard of Oz, which was a real treat.
Another bonus was the beautiful weather. Granted it did get into the 90s during the day, but that is nothing compared to our heat wave. Also, it was so pleasant in the mornings and evenings. On the way home we went from 57 degrees in Trinidad to 106 degrees in Waco! We definitely enjoyed the break from the extreme heat.
It was a great trip and we are blessed to have the time to go places and do things that bring us so much joy.
