Happy Friday! Friday Fave Fives always kicks me into thoughtful memories of all the wonderful things large and small that have happened to me in the past week. Since we have been traveling, there have been so many opportunities to count my blessings. Here are FIVE. (the link in blue will take you to Living to Tell the Story where you can read more)
1. Continuing on our road trip, we enjoyed a quick visit with a family we knew at our church in California. They moved to the midwest just after we moved to Ohio. The guys had served together on various committees and the church elder board. It was great to reconnect with them, even for a short time. Of course, Eleanor always enjoys coffee time with friends, too.
2. Along the way, we visited several National Parks and Historical Sites on the Santa Fe Trail. One of our favorites was Ft. Larned, in Kansas. The museums were very well done, interesting and informative. [no photos uploading]
3. Santa Fe, New Mexico. We made it all along the Northern Route of the Santa Fe Trail! [hmmm, my computer is still not allowing me to upload a photo...I'll try later]
4. We are at our destination point on our road trip. Arizona, where Older Son (Chaplain Dan) and his family live. This is the first time we have seen our son since he returned from his most recent nine month deployment with the Army Reserve. We are loving every minute spent with him, his wife and our granddaughter!
5. Of course, PAL is full of ideas on what to do while we are visiting. Diamondbacks game. Shopping for materials to create things with yarn and fabric. Ice cream dates.
So. Many. Blessings. How about you?

Hi Linda. What a great road trip. So glad you could make it clear out to Arizona to see you son and his family. Sounds like you saw lots of interesting things on the way and were able to meet up with some old friends. Much to be thankful for! See you again soon!
What a blessing to be able to spend time with your son and family. It sounds like you were able to enjoy yourself on the way out there as well.
Ahh, sweet to see you with Pal enjoying those ice cream cones! Welcome home to Chaplain Dan!!
WOW your trip sounds amazing. I was seeing some of your pics on FB and loving them.
And PAL is so grown up now!! She's sweet!! YAY for ice cream. Do you eat plant based (almond milk/oat milk/coconut) as I know you've said you're vegan? or vegetarian? I LOVE ice cream and mostly eat almond milk ice cream although I sometimes eat regular soft serve.
It must have been wonderful to reconnect with your son and the church friends!
HAPPY WEEKEND
What an amazing trip to see sights and friends, too. That PAL! She's so big now.
What a great trip! Lots of sights and special people to see.
