Do you remember as a child going on a trip with your parents that took sooooo long? You couldn't help yourself but ask "how much further?" This never seemed to achieve the goal of shortening the trip but it did a lot for the heat under Dad's collar in the drivers seat! (Don't have it Dad!)
When I grew a bit older I was able to read the road signs and see for myself how much further to "Skooks, Halifax and Back" as the saying went in my family.
Today is a bit of a milepost in my life. I have been married to my wonderful wife, Julie, for 37 years today! We're going to have a nice time together later this afternoon and then have dinner at one of our favorite locations to celebrate. The time has alternately crawled, skipped and flown by depending on what we were going through at the time. I must say that on reflection, our time raising children went by rapidly! That's probably hard for those of you in the middle of child raising to believe... but I am finding it to be true. My oldest grandson will be 9 this year for crying out loud! Seems like just a few months ago I was wondering when we would ever have grandchildren!
I'm not so worried about when we will 'get there' any more. I want to enjoy the ride a bit longer.
