Our rental car pulled away from the house at 5:00 this
morning. It was dark and cool but not cold.
There was minimal traffic until we hit Fredericksburg where there was
both construction and an accident. It
was a relief to take the Davidsonville Road exit of Hwy 50 toward
Edgewater. Beautiful farms align this
road. The rolling pastures are painted
with an assortment of green grasses. The
scenery makes this country girl feel at home.
Turning onto Turkey Point road, I began to look for Meandering Joy. We could see her from the bridge as we passed
over. Her name had been applied to the
transom. We were excited to see what
all had been done while we were away.
We unloaded quickly so that we could return the rental car
by 4:30. Ray and Kevin volunteered to
return the car for us so that we could unpack our things and get them settled
on the boat. We continue to be impressed
with the thoughtfulness of the people I now call the Burr family.
Mick was working on the satellite television when we stepped
aboard. As I unloaded the groceries, I
saw he had left us some eggs in a bright pink egg carton. He and his family have chickens. We will try these for breakfast in the
morning.
Ray returned after taking our rental car and handed me the
keys to the Burr van to use if we needed anything.
Mary dropped by to ask us to join the Lisenby's and Rickett's
for dinner. We ate at Plazuela's, a
Mexican restaurant, which serves the hottest salsa verde I have ever
eaten. Our new friends shared stories of
their Thanksgiving dinner and the adventures they have had in preparing their
boats while we were away. Steve and I
are like sponges soaking up all the helpful hints they are sharing with
us. We are thankful for their friendship
and the experiences they share.
Psalm 118:24, Psalm 116:17
This is the day that the Lord hath made, let us rejoice and
be glad in it. I need to make this my
motto and the first thing I think of when I get up each morning. Imagine what a life that could be to rejoice
daily.
