That is…on the road again.

I am grateful tonight to be on the road to see a new granddaughter and her eight siblings and parents.

I am grateful for a husband who is okay with the risks we are taking and who trusts me to be safe and extremely cautious for the next four days while I hold children and play the part of Ama.

I am grateful that he will be able to go to a place he dearly loves and enjoy some time while he waits for me to finish playing.

I am grateful that my daughter wants me to visit. There was a time when that wasn’t the case…

I am grateful that we will spend our birth day together.

I am grateful for safety on the road again, and safety for both of us these next several days while we mask and sanitize and wash hands and avoid nonstop.

I am grateful for Dana and Duane, our cat whisperers.

And I am grateful for road trip snacks.
