Well after seven driving filled days we are back home...great to be ensconced in usual quarters.
What a variety of scenery in this country...flat prairies; beautiful lakes; wonderful valleys and rivers...
Experienced snow squalls.. not very nice if you are driving on already snow covered roads.. but appropriate levels of caution one can safety arrive at destinations.
Saw daughter and boyfriend, and two grandsons during our time away.. all are good which is great

The Most Important Relationship Batch of All
We all have relationships in our lives. They go up and down; hot and cold... but soem are more important than others.
Some time ago I talked about my relationship with my spouse who is also my best friend.. .we had a wonderful time this past summer marking our 40th wedding anniversary.
I want to talk about another very important relationship. It's the one we have with our children. YOu know even when they grow up they are still our children. There isn't much (some might say we do too much) we won't do for our children.
This next week we are spending many days travelling to and from where our adult child lives. To the extent we can, we are helping her sort out some significant life cycle issues she is facing.
One may ask why we are going to all the hassles of travel (I may post comments during our trip)....well like all parents we are doing it as we love her. She entered our lives nearly 3 decades ago and it's been an exciting time ever since. She has grown up into a mature woman with normal young people's dreams and goals.
We are there both literally (at times) and figuratively to support her.
