Out of the Big City

Last night we left the Big City and drove into the countryside.  Here are some of the things that amazed me…

• For the first time since June, I consciously looked up and realized there are stars in the sky.
  
• There are open spaces in this world!  I looked at the fields, and the trees, and the desolate highways and realized it has been a long time since I have seen those things!
  
• There are many building which do not stretch to the sky
  
• When we arrived at my in-laws’, we parked…{gasp} in the driveway!  You know…like a reserved space, waiting – just for us!

Vacation is going to be wonderful!
