July 20, 2010 A flat tire and a speeding ticket!!!
The flat tire happened only 9 miles from take-off in the town I grew up in, Garden Grove. As I sat there shaking my head in frustration at the tire store I realized I had an opportunity to reflect on the beginning of my life in OC. My folks immigrated here from Canada when I was 5 and I lived here for 20 years. I let go and let God take me on my journey down memory lane for 30 minutes. So what turned out was a blessing, a time to pause and reflect and slow down.
Then the speeding ticket......a definite message to sloooooooooooooooooow down!!!! By this time I was 7 hours into a long drive and wasn't ruffled much. I was going to fast (90). Thank God I can take traffic school online on a farm somewhere!
Not much can ruffle me right now...I am still feeling the effects of all of your love from my party and cards that I have received! THANK YOU! I'll write more on all that after I have had some sleep!
Fair Thee Well,
Pioneer Janet
