So this is me this morning.... We have finally made it to Minneapolis / St. Paul. We left literally 2 days ago, drove to Pittsburgh stole Grace away from school and headed west. Driving till about 11 before we realized our lifestyle of no sleep was not going to allow us any farther travel. We rented a “non-smoking” smoke scented room, I was on consistent bug alert but cheap is good!After hitting the road again after a couple of hours of sleep we finally rolled onto campus yesterday afternoon. Hope’s face was wonderful as Grace jumped out her hiding space, surprising Hope. The evening was centered around a Brazilian dinner and student lead program of appreciation and sharing. It was a wonderful evening seeing these students thanking the individuals who have poured into them over the past 3 years.
Then after a quick late night food run, bed finally arrived.
This morning we woke to the vibration of Pearl’s cell phone only to discover a lost mother-in-law seeking help as she navigated the crazy streets of Minneapolis in search of coffee. Pearl saved the day, like she’s so good at doing, and her mom in a wonderful act of love brought us some great Caribou coffee and blue berry muffins , which is the MId West version of Starbucks.
Well it’s now getting close to time for us to start getting ready for the day. I believe we will be visiting the mall of America, then the graduation ceremony at 2, then a evening of loving Hope by doing whatever she pleases (I believe she wants us to meet her friends and their family, so I guess that means she’s not too ashamed of us!)well off to the showers.
peace
