Before I get too far away from Summer a little recapturing could be good for my soul come Winter. It will have its own joys but different as the world transitions, dies down, and sleeps till Spring.
Our 2nd two days of our "Missouri vacation" were a true retreat as we headed west into the hills of wine country. I never imagined how pretty the countryside of western Missouri would be. With just the two of us we were able to let go and rejuvenate. Though running in the southern heat was a much different experience than our mild, summer climate the humidity, strangely enough, did seem to help cleanse the body quicker. I was encouraged that my dear husband was willing to join me so that I could stay on track for the race I would participate in on Saturday once we were back home.
Between great conversation, scenery, the exquisite accommodations we enjoyed in Hermann, Missouri, and the fun sights we experienced there I truly enjoyed and am thankful for a relaxing respite. By Wednesday evening we were home where we enjoyed the next 36 hours before my dh had to return to work on Friday. I was able to take advantage of independent opportunities between power errands, computer time at Barnes & Noble, reading, scrapbooking, and then running the race.
By Monday evening, the return of my precious children was well-timed. They were energized from time with grandpa and grandma, and would continue to experience the euphoria for one more week as their grandparents stayed with us.
