Grass Valley Family

We left Eureka and headed south to our Grass Valley family. During our RV trip, we tried our best to visit as many people as we could, without getting overwhelmed, or making visits the focus. And this visit worked out perfectly. We arrived, and got to spend time with Brad’s family on their BEAUTIFUL property.
They have a lovely garden.
And a pond.
I want a pond.

Brad is blessed to have both his grandparents on this side of the family. And I couldn’t help but wonder if this would be the last time we would see them together.
I never thought that way before.
Maybe age is making me more realistic or maybe my mom’s death is making me more morbid.
Maybe both.
This life thing is hard.
And time just keeps going on.
Despite sickness and pain and milestones and joy.
Nothing can slow it down.
But sitting next to a pond at twilight sure helps.

We sure do love you guys and we were so thankful for this visit!
I love that we can just pick up where we left off, and have meaningful conversations.
Loving Jesus can do that to people.
