Cousin Clay is a naval pilot and, with wife, Amanda, and two daughters, is stationed in Anacortes, Washington on the Puget Sound and a little more than an hour's drive north of Seattle. We shared a wonderful afternoon and early evening together. Clay and Amanda could sell tickets to supper at their home as the two girls are more than entertaining. A delight!
The trip down to the airport was uneventful...as was the flight east. Uneventful and sleepless. I arrived back in KC at 8:00 am. Good to be home, even if in somewhat of a stupor.
We spent the holiday doing...well..nothing. Turned into a "Blockbuster Night" with intermittent fireworks showers between Wimbledon coverage and "The Bucket List". I have to say that the flat screen held less appeal than it had prior to my two weeks in the wilderness.
The plans for the days ahead and the remainder of the sabbatical time are as yet unscripted. I have ideas and will do some planning tonight, along with perusal of more emergent church material...not in that order.
An adventure is not truly an adventure unless you have someone to share it with. Thank you for following along in these days.
I send hopes that you are in the middle of a blessed Holiday weekend and have too much going on to check on this blog until this wish is a bit tardy.

Hi, Pastor Joe - Cherri forwarded the link to your blog this week and I've had a great time traveling along with you and enjoying your pictures. I'm even more excited about the Holden Village trip in September after reading your blog. I was walking through Sam's Club on Wednesday and the book "The Shack" jumped out at me from the rack as I passed by. I remembered you saying you were reading it and figured it was a sign. I just finished reading it...WOW. What a neat concept. I'll look forward to hearing what your impressions are & see what other books you might be recommending along the way. Peace & love!
