Wow!  My week should have had a warning label on it!  It would read;
 
 "The coming days are going to be frustrating, trying and difficult to muddle through, your patience will be thoroughly tested." 
 
All I have done is go all week long and it seems like I have been in slow motion.  No matter how hard I try to hurry my feet seem to be mired in molasses or asphalt.  Oh well, we made it to today and I am off!  Of course that just means I am going where I choose to go not where I am required to go.  I am fixing to get a few items out of storage, take Krl's SUV to her, get my truck, load it, hook up to the travel trailer and go to Lake Brownwood, unhook and set up the trailer for Kali and Ollie to stay in at a family reunion, then I will return to Abilene until Sunday.  On Sunday I will reverse the process.  This reunion used to be one of my favorite yearly events but it seems like it has become so much work just to get things rounded up to go.  I will go down early Sunday morning  and spend the larger portion of the day.  Everyone checks out shortly after noon but they reconvene at Coaches lake place for a homemade ice cream marathon!
 
I have just realized that even on my day off I am going, going......gone!
 
FATHER, this has been a week on Mondays, thanks for getting me through it.  It makes me appreciate those weeks that you fill with Fridays!  I pray for safe travel to and from Brownwood, I pray for safe travel for all those coming to the reunion.  I continue to lift up Aimee, Rene', Carol, and Michelle for YOUR healing and care.  Bless them.  I continue to ask YOU to bless the friends and farmers in St. Lawrence, Roscoe, Farwell, and Coyonosa, bless them with YOUR gentle rains and bountiful harvests.  Send us YOUR angels, surround us, fill us with your spirit.
