"I'm so hungry, I could each a sandwich from a gas station!" ~ Clark W. Griswold
As vacations tend to do, this one passed much too quickly.
As I sit looking out at the lake, Naples and the Edgewood seem so far away. But
we sure had a great time!
We left Naples in a downpour just after 7:00 Friday morning.
Aside from a brief traffic jam for construction near Tampa, the drive was
completely uneventful and we arrived at DeLisa’s aunt’s home in Lumberton, MS
at about 7:30 Friday night. We enjoyed a nice visit and a good night sleep.
Lanelle prepared a delicious quiche and some cinnamon rolls for breakfast and
we were back on the road at 10:30. One stop in Ruston, LA for gas and Sonic was
all we needed and we arrived at the lake house at 5PM – a bit road weary but
happy to be home. DeLisa and Olivia took the van and headed to Keller; Keith
and I stayed at the lake so I could mow. Mowing completed, Keith and I are
ready to head home as well.
Although short, this vacation allowed me what I needed – a break
from my daily routine to relax and unwind. I find myself this morning ready for
“normal” – my church, my home, and my workplace. I will approach each with
renewed energy as I replay the soothing waves and the beautiful sunsets in my
mind’s soundtrack.
