On our way across Iowa to the middle of the state to a small town of Boone Iowa there is a slight side trip to Williamsburg Iowa along the way. Unlike the long ago past which placed the car in the ditch and the two of us in the hospital, this one only put my checkbook in the ditch and my bank account in the hospital. All in all there were some good buys and lots of "how does this look" that need to be answered.
On our arrival at Boone we were greeted by the local police, I am sure that is why they were sitting at the side of the road. We pasted a stock car race and went up and down the main street searching for a motel, church, and the train station. What we found was the motel was full and every time we crossed the tracks we had to wait for a train. I have never seen so many trains in one day, it must have been every half hour that one went through that town. The motel search took us around the countryside, corn, beans, old farm house, old cities, wait, I think we are running out of gas. My co-pilot is somewhat laughing although it is getting darker and darker and she worried that something is going to happen and we will be stuck out here in the middle of nowhere. Ah yes a hundred miles later and we are back in Ames which I was informed was only about fifteen miles from were we started, no comment.
The adventure was great, the train ride memorable, the weekend delightful, even the nine holes of golf in Marshalltown, of which someone beat me on the last two holes.
Final words, take time to enjoy Gods creation, take time to enjoy your spouse, take time to just take time. If there is only one thing I received from my visit to the homebound and care facilities is everyone I have spoken to have said the same thing, take time, life is too short to waist it. I am blessed to know the things I know and am more blessed to be able do the things I do with the one that God has blessed me with as I becomes U, sharing our life and love together, it is worth working for, it is worth waiting for. I pray you all get to experience it.
"I do with the one that God has blessed me with as I becomes U, sharing our life and love together, it is worth working for, it is worth waiting for." Very thoughtful, I think sometimes people forget to do this, and just give up. You both are an inspiration to those around you!
