Back in the groove

Well, I'm back home from our various travels. We had a wet camping trip to San Antonio. The rain held off for one day and we had a fun time at Sea World. However, we had to cut the trip short because of continuing rain.

Over the past weekend, I made a trip to Seattle to a reunion of "bullriding buddies." These are ladies I met over the internet who shared an interest in watching (not participating) in bullriding. For six years, we met at various bullriding events around the country and always at the finals in Las Vegas. It has been three years since I have gotten together with any of them. We attended the bullriding event in Tacoma on Saturday and Sunday. The event was fun but I mostly enjoyed getting to visit with the ladies. We are from various parts of the country, Jodi lives in Florida, Laurie in Washington, Leanne in Oregon, Joann in Utah, and me in Texas. People always frown when I say I met them on the internet. But this was one time that the internet was a way to a lasting friendship. We stayed at Laurie's house which is just outside of Seattle. Can you imagine five ladies in one house with two big dogs? It was a great time.

This morning I am going to take packages of birthday presents to mail to Tiffany and Claire. I sure do miss all of them. I continually pray that God will bless their willingness to serve. Please pray for their language learning!

Let's Begin

Maybe I'll be better at this one than I was the last one! Today is Saturday before Spring Break. But since I am retired, every Saturday is like the Saturday before Spring Break. We are getting ready to go camping so today's will be short and I may not be back for a week. Thanks for stopping by.
