Traveling at the speed of...time

Well, here we go again!  Another Spring and another chance to SEE THE WORLD!  Or probably just the grandkids!!  Who needs to see Yellowstone when you can see your granddaughter learn to run? Who needs time at the beach when you can take your grandsons fishing?  The Bible says that there is a time for everything---and I am thankful that I have this time to spend with family.
The Washington Monument has been standing there for...well...a long time and not once did it need me to hold it or read to it.  It will probably be there for another hundred years or so without ever wanting to 'sleep in the RV'. But our grandkids cherish the times they can be with us. That maybe why grandkids are so special--they WANT to be with us, while our kids just endured us until they could move out!  :)
There are many places I would like to see--but it's the faces that mean the most to me. The time I spent and, hopefully, will spend watching our kids and grandkids play, listening to their laughter and sweet songs is priceless. And treasured forever...
And we can get there for only $4 a gallon!! What a bargain!!
