People, Places and Weather
I’m in a large building, kind
of cold, but warmer than upstairs where we slept last night. It’s an old church camp, a mixture of the
broken down, and the newly restored. My
niece, employed and living at the camp in northern Nebraska, just left with a
crockpot of chicken and rice she made for church. My other niece, visiting from
Ireland, works with her new Irish husband in the kitchen operating the
commercial dishwasher. My sister, upstairs, tries to coax enough hot water out to
have a bath. We stayed up late last night, having a good time, playing games.
What poultry doesn’t lay eggs? I had them stumped until they finally guessed
rooster. We had a good laugh. We just devoured a delicious breakfast of scrambled
eggs with cheese, bacon, potatoes, English muffins, orange juice and mint tea prepared
in a large kitchen filled with shiny stainless-steel appliances and food-prep
tables. We’ll be getting ready for church in a little bit. We’ll meet my niece
at a bridge where they fasten locks and make wishes, actually in South Dakota,
being close to the border. I’ve been on this trip for two weeks now, seeing son
and daughter in Mesa, where I left my husband in their care, visiting all four
of my sisters, nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephew in Lincoln and
Adams Nebraska. Now four of us temporarily reside at this camp. The day after
tomorrow, Lord willing, another sis and I will fly to Florida. I’m looking forward
to some sunshine after the rain, snow, sleet and wind we’ve experienced here.
They’re all precious gifts
People, places and weather
And times together
