What a needed weekend. This weekend we went up to visit my Grandparents in Idaho. It was just the Baileys this go around. The drives as usual aren't the most favorite part of the trip, but we had the neccesitites of Sun Flower seeds, gummy worms (Drayton's favorite), Cola and water (Drayton doesn't Drink soda :)) and then we filled in the filled the speakers with Dave Ramsey's seminar on Financial Peace or whatever it was called. It was good to listen to and conjure some of my own ideas on how to get creative and out of debt with our budget. To me, he sounds like the comedian Frank Callendo when he pokes fun of George W. Bush.
We really didn't have the weekend planned, and we didn't really need too, we just wanted to be, and not be in the way. So most of our weekend was well chatted up. My Great Grandma Root is as my Papa put "She's like an elastic, but this time she's not going to snap back, nor does she need too" Millie Root is a strong woman, and is on her way to the Glorious Kingdom, that we all hope and pray we will reside in one day. The thought is envious, I must admit, but in due time will I meet our maker. My Papa was reading the Bible to my Great Grandma, and I followed along in John with them, and then my Grandparents both whispered close to her Psalms 23 to my Great Grandma, and I couldn't help but to just cry. My Grandparents are so loving, and so secure in their faith, of which I hope to achieve one day. (sooner rather than later!) I don't know why, but the myriad of versus they could just say out of memory, and then that song, just made my tears flow.
Grandma and Papa wanted to show Drayton where my Uncle Randy lived, and what a beautiful drive it was, here is a photo of the river, simply beautiful.
The drive up there was wonderful, and we got to see My uncles amazing home, from the outside. :) and then we moseyed around and had a wonderful Saturday. All in all, I needed the comfort only my Grandparents could bring me, in my *Ahem* OUR mission. I know there is something missing in my life and I so badly want to fill that void I fill, and am overwhelmed at the way it is all unfolding right before my eyes, and what a beautiful path it is to follow.
It was a good weekend, even with my Great Grandma, it was good for my soul to see her one last time. It was a good kick in the pants trip to get me going again. I'm blessed to have all these wonderful people in our lives.
Until Next Time,
Peace & Love
