Hello all! I have just returned from a 10-day trip to my old stomping grounds in good ol' Ridge Manor, FL. I'm sure you will all remember that thriving metropolis from some of my earlier posts.
Anywho, I was there for several reasons. A) I finished my first semester of college successfully and felt that it was an appropriate celebration to get the heck out of dodge for a few days; B) Art and Ellen's daughter-in-law, Anne (wife of Sean, their oldest son) was having her second baby, so an extra pair of hands to lighten the work was more than welcome; and C) I hadn't been there since I moved back last December, and felt that a visit was long overdue. (To be completely honest, I didn't really pray heavily regarding my trip...however, I discovered while there that it really was His idea in the first place and He was just gracious enough to let me think that I had come up with it.:)) It was a sort of mini-missions trip! And let me tell you, a second pair of hands really were appreciated...
The ten days passed busily (and very pleasantly as well) in a whirlwind of visiting, cleaning, and chasing after Samantha, a beautiful and active two-year-old girl. Anne's baby was born in the last few days of my visit so Art, Ellen, and I had sole custody of Samantha. One day, Ellen's mother came over the house and, noticing how I was chasing after the kiddo, commented, "One week you're the executive assistant to a Broadway producer, and the next you're a babysitter!"
Ah...versatility!
