Before we left Missouri in search of our boat 3 yrs ago, we promised our neighbors we'd attend their final annual Family Reunion in 2014, no matter where we were! Who knew we'd be in Georgetown, Bahamas after so many changes in our sailing plans!
Sadly, just one of us could go, since Miss Liberty can't fly commercially...especially in July! Daren volunteered to watch her on the boat, so I flew out of Georgetown on July 9-13th. A whirlwind trip indeed! Good friends Don and Cheryl picked me up in Kansas City about 7 pm and drove the 2.5 hours back to their house in Warsaw, after dinner at a wonderful Italian restaurant that even had gluten-free pasta!
We had a wonderful visit! I'd forgotten how beautiful Missouri is in the summertime....SO green! Cheryl drove me around the next day, and I stocked up on gluten-free foods from Wal-mart. The weather was perfect and it was fun to see the library ladies and neighbors from our Flying Dogs Farm days! I even got a real haircut in town! Friday night, Don took Cheryl and me to see a fun movie in Sedalia, Jersey Boys, about Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons! Afterwards, we stopped at a real Dairy Queen for sundaes! It was such a nostalgic and memorable evening, I felt like I was back in high school!!
The reunion in Fristoe on Saturday was great fun, too! Lots of terrific food, friends, and entertainment! Cindy and Jeff have 3 new horses, and gave rides to the kids. I even sat on one and didn't get thrown off! Daren posted the pictures to prove it!
The next day, Sunday, I had to fly back home, and Don and Cheryl took me to Springfield Saturday night, where we got to see daughter Holley and stayed at Cheryl's Dad's house. The visit was over so fast, it was like a blink in time! But I'm so glad I got to go!
Daren had to go back to work in Modesto on July 15, so we had just one day together before he left for 2 weeks. I'm SO glad we have these iPads to communicate with Face Time! He's on his way home and will be back tomorrow for 2 weeks. Hooray! Libby is ecstatic! It's too bad we didn't figure this out 2 yrs ago! Oh well, no regrets! We had a good time there, as well.
