We arrived her in Colorado Springs on June 2nd after nine days on the road. Yes we did take a somewhat circuitous route to get here, but as Donna often reminds me, the journey can be as important as the destination. We are set up at the US Air Force Academy, thanks to our True Blue friend Phil (aka Grandpa Flip), who is retired military and has privileges here.
Then on Wednesday evening, we got to spend the evening with Grandpa Flip and Nana Margene. The fajitas were great, but the fellowship with family was even sweeter.
Though we're not related by blood, there is a bond that goes back over 30 years to 1978 in Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, when two young military families were forever intertwined when the love and grace of our amazing God knit our lives together. Since then, no matter where our lives have taken us, when we get together it's like picking up an ongoing conversation. Yes, we are family!
The girls thought so, too! It shows that they have seven granddaughters of their own!
We can't leave out the other two important members of the family-
I'm really glad that we have six more days here. It will take that long to get caught up!
