I just spent the last two weeks on a mini sabbatical and it was quite refreshing. I got to spend time in Michigan with my parents and Aunt Betty enjoying the cool weather, fall colors and God’s awesome natural wonders. Two of the four National Lakeshores are in Michigan and we got to visit both as well as seeing 3 of the 5 great lakes! My dad and I did a half marathon and my aunt did the bridge run in Sault Ste Marie. We ran across The International Bridge from Michigan to Canada at sunrise and it was beyond gorgeous! We also went across the Mackinac Bridge which is interesting because it’s the only way to drive between the upper peninsula and the mitten and stay in Michigan. When I returned to Texas, besides sweating, I delivered Meals on Wheels and helped at AYSA. MoW was shorthanded so it was a great week for me to be available. I met a lady and had an extended conversation with her on my last stop of my last day. Be praying for her as she’s staying in a hotel until her house has been cleaned of mold. She’s having a hard time since she’s been in that house 20 years and it’s what she and her blind dog, Rascal, know and love. Originally, I was scheduled to help Pregnancy Resources, but they didn’t need me. They were super grateful for my willingness and persistence to help, though! Because I wasn’t needed there, I was able to help Michelle and Aaron at AYSA. I helped organized shoes in their instant replay used sports “store” and then we made it a fun adventure to clean out, organize, and condense their attic. I’d show you progress, but we took pictures on a one-time-use camera we found in the attic. It “expired” in 2010, but hopefully we’ll get some photos of the memories we made. Thank you FD for an extended time to spend with family and help the community.
