On the Road Again

   Mayre Lou gave me a travel mug one time that played "On the road again" by Willie Nelson, and that song seems to define our lives these days.

   Yesterday was another of those travel days, heading from home toward Arkansas, to help out with some child keeping while the parents both go on trips out of town. Noel is in Toronto, doing some work (?), while Donna goes on a two day retreat with her Honors freshmen. We get to stay with Archer and Cady Gray, and be a part of their lives for a few days. It is a pretty long trip, but we break it up into two days, with a stop in Alabama or Mississippi, so it is manageable.

   We look forward to being with these two. They are great kids, but live too far away from our home. They are two of our favorite grand kids, we have 7 favorites, and we'll spend the week playing games, reading stories and just doing grand parent things.

   So, here we are in Starkville, Mississippi, getting read to cross this state and head into Arkansas. The weather is cool and sunny this morning and we will be "on the road again".

   Let's go Willie.....
