Living in a Rectangle: Final Lessons Learned (at least for this trip)


*It is an eye opener when you realize you are only tasting wines you might like no matter how much they tell you "you will love this one, no really people who don't like sweet wines love this one"...No really I do not want to taste it, thanks.
*One sees and is amazed at how many big, no, I mean really big logs float down the Mississippi River.
*Tug boats are fun to watch. A glass of wine helps to make them fun to watch.
*One is amazed at how one does not see any big logs floating down the Arkansas River.
*When I am inside driving into place The Rectangle being given hand signals by Mr.D and those hand signals should have some meaning for me and I begin to laugh as all I can see is "the hand jive"....All meaning is lost through tears of laughter. (Note: does not make the one outside so happy.)
*The most important thing when building and playing in the fire is the "poker stick".
*Life in The Rectangle is not the same when the coffee maker stops working.
*Who knew you have to "burb" your Keurig coffee maker ?? It worked and my machine now works great. Thanks internet for the answer to my problem.
*Guys just talk better hanging over the bed of a pick up truck.
*Returning home is always bittersweet but having great friends staying in your home and leaving it not only well kept but with wine, cheese ready to snack and chocolates on the pillows as you climb into bed... makes coming home just sweet.
*Starting the week in your home church makes worship comfortable with hugs warm and welcoming.
*When does one start to plan the next "run away from home?"....Well now is a good time because being together 24/7 is a lot of fun.
MERRY CHRISTMAS ONE AND ALL
