Over the course of nine months, the lopezfamilyfieldtrip has experienced three houses in three different cities on two different continents. Fieldtrip Extraordinaire.
While our adventure began in beautiful Bavaria
and then continued through desert canyons and mountains,
nothing brings you back to the beginning quite as quickly as preparing for a garage sale. A garage sale in your childhood home. 39 years in 1 house...this is my mom's story...our keeper of stories.
Sift. Sort. Save. Sell.
Yearbooks...4th grade art projects...framed evidence of the knee-high tube socks and short shorts era...Holly Hobby lunch pail with matching thermos...letters from war. WWI. Back beyond our beginnings. Introductions to your people through almost-forgotten treasures draw you in and remind you of the bigger story.
As we prepare for a stretch of time when we will celebrate the HolyDays as well as the day-to-day victories on separate continents, I am thankful for every opportunity to hear your voice, to hear your story.
Happy Father's Day to my sweetheart.
