Before I went to sleep last night I texted Misti to see if her and Haleigh's flight had arrived in Kansas City yet (from San Antonio where they were for Logan's graduation). She replied they were in Atlanta waiting for a plane that was late. I asked her to text me when she got home as I knew she would be on the road very late/early morning. I prayed God's protection on them both before going to sleep. I woke up about 2:30-3:00 and I had not yet received a text. I didn't want to call on the chance she might already be home in bed. Satan immediately started putting thoughts in my head and even though I reminded myself I needed to trust God that she was okay my mind just kept churning, and I could feel the worry building in my shoulders and neck. I started singing "Amazing Grace" to myself and within minutes I just felt God was with me and my mind calmed. I knew she was okay, and I was able to go back to sleep.
When Dean and I walked this morning I told him about it. I still had not heard from her but I wasn't worried. About 20 minutes after we returned from our walk, my son Marc sent me a picture of a table he recently finished and asked what I thought of it. Within a few minutes Misti made a comment too...confirmation she was okay. I'm so thankful for our heavenly Father who meets all of our needs and calms our fears if we just trust him.
We did our normal morning walk of 2 miles. Dean's vascular surgeon told him to keep up the walking and golfing. That made him happy! At least the remark about playing golf did, but most mornings he enjoys the walks too. I took these pictures yesterday during our walk but forgot to include them so I'll share them today. The red-buds are losing their blooms and the leaves are coming on, but the white dogwoods are beautiful. During a drive the other day we saw some beautiful pink dogwoods as well. They were stunning. (Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of the those.)
After breakfast, we immediately started putting things away in preparation for our move back to Oswego. It was about 10 when we had everything packed and the slides pulled in. All we needed to do was hitch up and we'd be on our way.. We walked over to visit with Frank and Joyce for a few minutes and say our "see ya' laters". We pulled out of our site shortly before 11.
It was a beautiful day to travel.

| Beautiful blue sky! |
 |
| The red-buds were beautiful and there were many groves of them. So pretty! |
 |
| This was a small park area outside Miller, MO just off the highway. |
 |
| I love to see the cows out in the field, especially grazing on this bright green grass. |
 |
| As we entered Carthage, MO I thought this was an interesting sign. |
It was close to 2pm when we arrived at Hillside RV Park. The site we were set up in when we left was open, so we pulled in and quickly got Bentley set up, then off we drove to the golf course to take Misti some medicine. We visited with her for about 30 minutes before we left. We decided to make a quick drive through the park.
When we returned home, I made us a sandwich (tortilla with turkey & cheese) and cut up an apple for each of us.
It was nice to just relax for a few hours this afternoon. I took time to read some emails to catch up with the blogs I follow and did another load of laundry. About 5:30 Dean started the grill while I got everything ready for him. We are ready to get back to cooking again. We love eating out, but we enjoy making our own meals as well. Tonight Dean grilled filets and asparagus. I wrapped the asparagus in aluminum foil, added several pats of butter and some garlic and cooked it on the grill, turning it a few times over a ten minute period. What a delicious meal!
It's good to be home.... in "our hometown" for a few days!
