Amanda, Ben, and I went up to Goshen this morning to visit my grandmother (my mom’s mom) who lives in the Greencroft Retirement Community there. It was great to see her. My grandma is 92, and she watched with great joy Ben run all around her apartment. A short time later my cousins Steve and Matt came, and she had all her grandsons but Scott there.

As we always do, we went out to eat, this time to Bob Evans. But sadly as it always is with old people, I tired out pretty quick!!!! And when Ben sacked out on the way back to Greencroft, we decided it was best to head home. I still had a lot of work to and there were storms coming so it made sense to head out. An as we also always do, we stopped at the cemetery to visit my grandfather’s grave on the way out of town.

It seems so strange to me to just visit there. Goshen was my second home as a kid, and somehow I still feel drawn to it. I guess it may because life was always so wonderful there for me and filled with such great memories. It’s like a Brigadoon I can visit many times a year, and for that I am thankful.

Anyway, I am back and have most of my work done for tomorrow. I am thankful for the re-charge of my spirit today. I am also thankful for my grandmother. Without her or my grandfather there is no telling where I would be. It was so great to see her.

Okay, it’s off to bed for me. A unseasonably warm goodnight to you all….and God Bless!
