Road trip!

Not much of a road trip, but I'm heading out to Bear Lake and then Wyoming and then back all today. I have to be back by 7:00 tonight, but can't leave until about 9:30 this morning.

Even so, this is the first real road trip I've had in over a year. I'm really looking forward to this run.

The sad thing is, my son's father lives in Wyoming. I promised to get him there for his belated Christmas as soon as I could. His father isn't at all enthused about seeing Thomas, however. It breaks my heart.

His father's girlfriend is so excited to see us all that I can't say no. And this is probably the last time Thomas will see his father. I found out yesterday afternoon that the man is moving to Las Vegas. He doesn't come see his son, I always transport him, and I've got no reason to go to Vegas.

The girlfriend, my friend, is very ill and it sounds like she will move on to a better world soon. That will be difficult, too. I like her and I trust her. I will miss her! It is for her health that they are making this move to a warmer climate and they are hoping the medical care will be better. For her sake, I hope it works!

So, this is a happy trip and a sad trip.

But it is a road trip and I am so ready to be back on the road!
