Good morning everybody, thanks for the condolensces.
Uncle Floyd was my grandmother’s brother. About 6 or so years ago at the age of 86 he went up for a ride in an ultra-light. Up until the last couple of years he’d think nothing of getting in his car and driving literally across the country to visit relatives etc. He had an old Mercedes Benz that had somewhere upward of 300,000 miles on it. That’s a good runnin’ car!
The world is harsher and more barren without him. He was a staunch conservative and Lutheran and drove 60 miles to attend a church where the sermons weren’t so “watered down”.
I have my mil and fil coming today and will be busy much of the day. In fact, sounds like we are going to be spending a LOT of time with them over the next weeks due to medical issues. There go the plans for the music festival, I’m afraid.
We’ll see...
I admire and respect people of that generation.
My grandmother was born in 1900 and died in 1997. She had a cousin who would drive from Florida to PA every year to visit her. He was older than her by a few years! He stopped making the trip arond 94 or 95.
Take care as I know you are taking care of others.
Morning ALL!!
Yes! We did that. Back when our kids were small and we were living in Stevenson, AL, we drove to a church an hour and 15 minutes (shorter if all the lights were green!) so that we would get good, solid and challenging biblical teaching. There were good local churches but we wanted something that wasn't so "watered down."
