2000 Miles

Well, my mom has decided to move back to Minnesota for the next 3 months. I know, not a great time to be in town, especially since yesterday's high was -4 but she is here. My dad is going to stay in CA. I flew out to CA on Wednesday afternoon and started the 2000 mile drive back on Thursday. It went really well! We counted about 30 hours in the car. We started out between 6 and 6:30 each morning and was in around 7:30. Long days but not late nights. It was kind of fun and I would do it again. The most fun thing we saw were 3 cowboys. Real cowboys on horses, driving cattle! For a city girl, this was quite fun. We also saw a coyote eating road kill, that was the only wild life we saw in the whole drive. We were suprised that the thing didn't care one bit that a car driving 50 (I slowed down to look) was within 8 feet of him.

While Mom is in town, she will be working hard on the book she is writing and doing a lot of counselling . I hope to have her help me pick out some new fabric and do a little 30 day cooking. It will be fun to have her here but hard knowing that my Dad is on his own back in CA.
Please pray for my parents, that they can work some things out while they are apart.
