Even though I have been practicing this for 40 years, this is the most difficult day of the trip. This morning we get to say "Goodbye" to Violet, Princess, and the farm, and point the car Southeast. Marilyn, Sandy, Sam and I have all had a wonderful, if all too short, visit, and need to be on the road back to Monroe so we can see Jon get his MBA on Saturday.
Everyone we've talked to here is doing well. Last night we celebrated Marilyn's Mom's 78th Birthday with Lois, and spent the evening going over things remembered. I will miss all of this more than I can say in a blog.
I've been extremely lucky to have married into a family of solid, hard working, God fearing folks who went out of their way to make me feel like I belonged in this part of the world. If heaven is anything like Concordia, Missouri, it couldn't be better.
We've got a long ride ahead of us, and the postponed (due to a late start) visit to the Arch, so I'll quit for now.
I'll try to get some more pictures uploaded when we stop tonight.
Stay well, and stay safe.
I, too, have been blessed. I thank God for each of you every day. Drive safely.
