We are about 18 miles west of Hayden, Colorado where Karen and her sister grew up and went to school. Since Hayden doesn't have a motel, we are in Craig so we can attend their high school reunion this weekend. If they both had stayed in Hayden, it would have been Karen's 55th reunion and Jinny's 50th, but they both ended up completing their high school in Morgan, Utah. It's a long story. In any event they are renewing some old friendships and the event last night at the school and the American Legion was fun. There are events planned for today and tomorrow and then it will be back to Wellington, CO where we left our motor home with friends from our Fort Collins home church. It is strange to not be sleeping in our home on wheels.
Yesterday we drove from Wellington to Laramie, Wyoming, south to Walden, CO, over Rabbit Ears Pass through Steamboat Springs, CO and on to Craig (to avoid the Memorial Day weekend traffic up the Poudre Canyon). It spit snow on Rabbit Ears and there was still plenty of snow along the roadside, and it brought back memories of our 40 years living in Colorado, in snow and cold and low humidity. It doesn't seem like that many years, but then again looking back it doesn't feel like 50 or more years since high school graduation. Life has a way of slipping by and at our age it seems the downhill ride is a lot faster moving. How grateful we are for the experiences we have had, the life we now have in Christ and the call He has made on our life. Time does go on, but we really need to take full advantage of the time we are given, appreciate what we have, not look too far up the road to what might be and know that God has it all figured out, and just asks us to trust Him and be obedient to Him. We press on in faith and thank You, Lord.
