After 35 years, my husband and I are still learning new skills. We run a business \u201ctogether\u201d and travel to family as we are needed. They\u2019re all such blessings\u2026 especially the grandbabies! Even helping my in-laws a couple of times a month on their \u201cfarm\u201d has been fun and surprisingly relaxing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recently over a 10 day span, we drove to 3 different states, slept in 8 different beds while visiting lots of family. As we rode some 1200 miles, talking and working, I was so thankful that we get along and still love each other so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes we\u2019ve felt a tad <em>betwixed and between<\/em> -as my mom used to say. When to leave home? How long to stay away? Yet because God is the One sending us out and calling us back &#8211; it\u2019s ok.
