we made it to birmingham, tired and cranky, but we made it. we were presently surprised by the cooler temperatures here. a small, but welcomed blessing. gladys and ted made us a picnic lunch, so we ate chicken salad sandwiches cut in the shape of hearts as we sipped on cokes in McDonalds somewhere in Kentucky. My sister came in my room last nite with tears in her eyes. She needed to be sad for us, she said. It was sweet. I am sad for us, too. But, I find some comfort in all of this... when I moved to St Louis three years ago, I knew hardly a soul. Yesterday, as I drove down hwy 40, I left behind people that I loved. Thanks be to God.
