By the time we leave for South Carolina next week, we will have spent four weeks in Missouri and Indiana with family. We love these extended times of connecting with those we dearly love. All of the travels are great but there is something special about just being able now to hang out with our grand children.
While with Aaron's family in Battlefield, Missouri we saw our oldest grandson, Austin, in his school play. Austin is a senior and will be a freshman next year at Olivet Nazarene University in Illinois (3rd generation of Dicer to attend) and we were able to see the other three grandsons in Bible Quizzing. Moving on to Indiana, we were able to watch both grand daughters play some volleyball and enjoy the warmth of their fireplace on what turned out to be cold nights.
It was also a time to head down to Bloomington, Indiana and open up the cabin. The birds appreciated the refill to the feeder and the deer made their trek to the cabin for their midnight snacks. Much time was spent visiting Sherry's mom and we celebrated her 88th birthday. Sometime in the middle of all that, we passed the written test at the BMV and now have Indiana drivers licenses. We are Hoosiers once more.
I just figured out that for the first 130 days this traveling adventure we have spent 89 days in various places and 41 days with family. We'll see how that mix changes as we continue down this road that the Lord has allowed us to travel. Thanks for the continued prayers.
