Karen went home to Colorado, I stayed home in Arkansas and we are home together again. Our life is definitely not typical, nor has it ever been in our 40 plus years together. It would seem that right from the start of our getting to know each other we have led a very nomadic existence. Right after we met, I traveled from Colorado to Chicago with a work friend and came back to begin a relationship with Karen. The day after we were married, we took a road trip from Colorado to Washington, D.C. Within six months of our marriage we were moving from Colorado to Tulsa, Oklahoma and during that time travelled to a number of places, including The Great Passion Play in Eureka Springs, Arkansas which is our road home now. We haven't been world travelers or cruisers, but we have been to every state together, except Alaska and have had a lot of wonderful and unique experiences together.
We have also spent time apart because of some of my work travel and Karen's "calling" to be with friends or family members in times of health issues or personal difficulties or losses. But somehow, we get together again and in our own way, we go on with life and the adventures of it. God has become the cornerstone of our life the past fifteen years and we have been blessed by what He has done in our life, where He has taken us and the people He has brought into our world. We are blessed, grateful and humbled. So, Karen came back to Arkansas on Saturday with a new(2008) car we will be towing behind the motor home, a host of accomplishments from her time in Colorado and good reports from all her medical tests and appointments. Like The Key and The Lock we are together again, yet never really having been apart, just separated for a brief time. GOD IS GOOD.
