It is the simple things and free things that mean the most to me and those that make the best lasting memories.
Like having your dad kiss and hug you upon arrival and then immediately wash the bugs off the windshield of your trusty 14 year old "mom-mobile" and then wash the inside of the windshield too!! The kids had washed it for me before we left for the trip. Thanks Dad, no streaks!! Oh and by the way, can you picture all 5 of us traveling for about 28 hours in this small vehicle??
Simple things...
Like chasing and catching the little lizards that are everywhere like toads are in northern-most Ohio.
Simple things....
Like E. and N. fishing in front of Dad's for 5 days, every chance they could.
Like quietly thinking while the big orange ball of a sun sinks below the horizon after seeing a wonderful sunset on our last night for this trip in Florida.
We were safe and healthy and that is most important, isn't it?
