This past weekend I took the opportunity to drive home. I have been wanting to sell my car and buy a small pickup for driving up here. There was a friend of mine from western NY that was coming up on staff over at Beaver Lake Camp and his brother and sister and my sister were planning on bringing him up. I figured it would be a prime opportunity to take my car home and then ride back with them. What I hadn't counted on was the 50+ hours of driving involved. I along with Dustin and Jon left Friday afternoon and arrived at my house Saturday afternoon. We left again Monday morning and arrived back at NYP at noon on Tuesday. It was a joy to have my sister Marissa spend the week here with me. Those of you who who have never spent long periods of time away from your family should count yourselves blessed.
Fall is coming to a close around here. Most of the leaves have fallen off the trees and it is getting colder. I can't wait till the snow comes and the lake freezes over. Clair's have left for a few weeks in Greenland, so I have time now to work on some other projects. Here I am pulling the Cheyenne out of the hangar. Sorry about the smudge, it is a raindrop at the wrong place at the wrong time.

ReplyDeleteI would agree - they are blessed; however, I think they who HAVE spent time away from home are even more blessed because at least they can appreciate home/family/friends a lot more. I find I enjoy my family a lot more now after I've been gone for a while and am back again.
Anyway, that's my POV.
Be blessed!
