We'll Fly Away...
I'm a little bit punchy, after flying away and all, but after 36 hours am feeling better.
We arrived at our undisclosed destination yesterday, my mother, Connie, Nicole and myself. OK, for those of you who DON'T know where I am I will give a free copy of my Soccer Moms Devotions to Go to the first person who accurately guesses...comment away!
Our flight was uneventful (which is always good) and empty besides! So Connie and I both stretched out across the three middle seats...and took our Ambien and S-L-E-P-T. The wonderful flight attendent was sympathetic to my recent life experiences and gave us gratis red wine.
It never daunts me arriving in a new place; I guess that is one of the many gifts my dad gave me. A spirit of adventure and being undaunted by new situations. I am not one to ring my hands and moan in despair. So the fact that we didn't know where the youth hostel was was simply an annoyance, nothing more. Needless to say, we found it, and once we got there, no problemo, we were off and running. And despite being pretty tired, found our way around the city with absolutely no difficulty. Language was not a problem...and we made our way from the hostel into town and then down to the lake. There were swans and the reflection of the sun off the water was like shimmering diamonds. Beautiful.
We had a day long pass for transportation and went to a beautiful location above the city where the views were absolutely panoramic...we stopped and had a snack, which was a bit of a problem because we did lose our momentum and looked like we were going to lose Nicole, but then we all got anotehr wind. There was a great playground and Nicole had a ball while Connie and I walked a little bit more to take in more of the view. God's presence was undeniable.
I am so happy Connie is along. I am concenred for my mom; this is very, very hard for her. But our goal is to make her laugh and smile over the next few days. Please pray we are successful...
Peace.

OK, so as many times as we have talked lately, you never said WHERE!!! You did say overseas, I think! So I will be the first to guess...the only 2 places I think you would go are Rome and Honderus!Also, how cool is that that connie could go with!Tell her hi for me! How is nicole? Did she feel better soon? I prayed! Love ya!
Well, I'm guessing overseas, as Ambien lasts quite a few hours, so that must have been a long flight. I'm not going to guess London or Paris, as I believe they are fairly flat places...So I'm going with Italy too...swans....hmmm. I think Switzerland would still be too cold for swans...
