We won’t be packing our luggage this year, but in years past, both David and I have gone away on retreats during April, and the first part of May. Our church supports a college in Missouri, that has an annual Women’s Retreat, and its the last week in April. I went for many years, but haven’t the last few years, for a variety of reasons. When we did go though, I would get home from this retreat Saturday evening, and David would leave for Men’s retreat in Oklahoma on Sunday, and be gone for 3 or 4 days. He really wishes he could go again, but with his job, it proved to be more stressful for him to go - and the whole idea of going was to “get away” and relax and spend time with other Christian men and just get back to nature with God. No cell reception. Keeping 13 drivers rolling down the road requires phone reception. It just wasn’t the same as it was when we worked at the family manufacturing plant, and was able to get away and not worry about what was going on at home, not be responsible for keeping things going. Maybe one of these days, he can get things back to where he can take some days off — like training someone to do what he does (which, we are in the process of doing), but I’m not sure this is the year to do it. It’s a month away …. its worth thinking about, trying to get it into place.
