Facing Florida: The Trip Down

2/15/2018

0 Comments

 
  We were heading to Florida, but we had just a few last stops to make....
   
  In lieu of flowers, we asked the community to donate to my dad's alma mater, Central Christian, instead of flowers.  We were THRILLED to find out, that just over $3000 was raised.  And it was just the right amount for a much needed new commercial dishwasher for the school kitchen. Theirs no longer worked! That is a big problem!

  I am so thankful to all who donated, we'd MUCH rather have the gift that keeps on giving like that, as opposed to flowers that wilt and die.   Dad would've been so proud!

  I showed the kids his senior photo on the wall while we were there.  :)

    We needed to make one more VERY important stop on our way out of town....

    We wanted to pay our respects and see Papa's resting place.  The headstone is ordered and will be up when we get back this summer. 

  Still doesn't seem real that he isn't waiting for us anxiously in Florida....he was always so full of life and joy!

  Our trip to Florida was fairly uneventful.  We took it extra slow, and stopped more than usual. 

​  A celery spill from a semi that wrecked, that held us up and extra hour......

​  Ranch dressing, anyone?

  OH!  And a gas station exercise session outside leads to a jackpot for Destiny - $100!

  We make the kids do stretches, yoga and RUN RUN RUN when we stop for gas.  This gas station had a HUGE hill down to a nasty drainage ditch.  There was a concrete ramp run off, that was dry, and she was walking up and down it, while the little kids ran around.
 
  She looked over, and down between the concrete blocks, she found this bill that had washed down, who knows when, just stuck there!  She had just shared with me that she wished she had spending money, and that it was hard to earn anything while traveling.  I told her to pray about it! 

​  Guess what? The LORD answers! :)

  We did school like normal while bouncing down the road, and the kids performed "Paul Revere's Ride" by Longfellow....

  It was a good travel day!

  We took 3 whole days to get down, I didn't want Dale pushing hard, he was too weary.  We ALL were! 

  One morning, our hose froze at the spicket, and poor Sophie could NOT get close enough to the heater vent. Haha!

  The closer to Florida, the warmer it got, but the more the butterflies flew in our tummies. ☀️🌴🦋 Staying at a place so full of memories of my dad, a place so HIM, is going to be really really tough. Big reality check for sure!

  This next layer of healing is a big one, and I am grateful we never walk alone!
