Traveling Treasures

Cannot post until camera is found.
The bad news is---big Canon camera is "lost"---tho not for the first time on this trip. 
The good news is----it was left in a shop in Overland Park Kansas and friend Drenda lives near there and will check as soon as the store opens.
The prayer concern is---store manager (or patron) is honest and it will be found there and kept safe.

***Praises for answered prayer. Early phone call from the road confirmed camera found, safe and secured in the shop safe. It was "literally "kept safe."
Later received phone call that Drenda had the camera, would reward the honest young man for me and bring camera to Memphis when she visits in June.
Whew-w-w-w!!! As I've often said, RELIEF is one of my favorite emotion.

Back to the original blog idea......Relationships---life is all about friends and family----reacquainting from old times and enjoying new ones along the way.
Real treasures of this trip have been a renewed faith in mankind----so many "good folks" have crossed our path, both planned and unplanned.
Char & her cousin Ronnie who had us to dinner & arranged golf in Palm Springs---he plays barefoot. Whatever it takes to play well---seemed to work for him.
Carolyn and Don Lowe, Hopkinsville High School chums of brother Buddy, now living in Laguna Beach, treated us to lunch at Monarch Bay Club. What fun to reconnect---even I knew them. Little sisters always look up to older brothers and their friends.
Gigi and Keith, our north California friends, tried to surprise us in Nevada  and stay at same hotel...but Truckee and the Donner pass had snow that kept them at home. We did stay at the plush hotel they recommended. Room view of pool and hot tub was blurry but hubby and I enjoyed the hot tub 'til the rain started----for 13 seconds as hubby exaggerated. It was too short, for sure. 
Our last night on the road was spent at friend Drenda's in Leawood, KS (Kansas City area) Her son-n-law, "Chef" David fixed a delish meal for us. I treasure any time I can have with her as we worked side by side at Houston High for our last teaching tenure.
The treasure of seeing God's hand in so many instances----especially in our relationships with dear ones has been a BIG blessing during our travels.
