Quick Run-Away

The Husband, Kidlet Three and I

took a Quick Run-Away trip this weekend.

We packed up the car Saturday morning

and drove 253 miles to see my parents.

Which takes us five hours to drive.

Here are a few scenes from the drive

We listened to a great book on tape

We watched for the familiar "landmarks"

Arriving to the smiling faces of my parents

And their beautiful home on the lake

Kidlet One and Son-In-Law joined us also

In future posts I'll share details of what

we did during our Quick Run-Away.

However, what I most loved about the weekend

was that we were

TOGETHER

To-Gather

We were missing Uncle Al and Kidlet Two

It wasn't the same without them.

But for those of us gathered there

It was short and sweet and together.

Maybe I'm getting old and sentimental?

No, I think it is more then that.

It is understand and realizing that

unexpecteds

happen

I need to spend time with my family

and to celebrate and enjoy each opportunity with them.

Dad and Mom, thank you for a great

Quick Run-Away.

We love you and are grateful for all

that you do for us!

Here is a last photo of what we stared at this weekend.

A scene from the porch.

I hope you were able to spend some

time enjoying family and/or friends

this weekend!
