Travelin’, visitin’ and such: Quite a bit of shufflin’ has been going on round and about our area with Lenten Lunches, scheduled meetings, yardwork and Dr. Appointments. No one has shared trips other than attending sports events, so if you enjoy a special outing let me know.
But, I will share the recent adventure of daughter Kyle and her “Hubby” Terry while celebrating their March Birthday Anniversaries. Leaving Seatac Airport in Washington State in history breaking severe weather they safely arrived in Hawaii of all places where they were experiencing even worse historically severe weather. Thankfully their lodgings/tours were on Kona which wasn’t affected by the storms/floods happening on the Big Island. Needless to say family and friends offered many prayers for their safety… and thankfully they were answered.
