We are on the way to Seattle via Las Vegas. We thought it would be nice to fly to Las Vegas and rent a van to drive to Seattle with all the paraphernalia for Becky’s wedding, including all the vases and stem wrapping material for the flowers Tina planned to arrange for Jack and Becky. It turned out that driving our Honda Insite back and forth from Vegas costs about half of flying. So we are driving again, I say again because we have driven across the country close to 10 times. We never tire of driving; we live in a beautiful county, beautiful in so many ways. We cannot post every picture but we hope to share some unusual shots and some of our experiences. To be involved and to officiate at your own daughters wedding is a privilege few experience and Gremar and I are thankful.
We could not believe these kids jumping off the bridge; risky and foolish perhaps but what a blast! O, to be young again. I wish Icould have made a better video but it was great to watch. This happened on our trip from Vegas to Seattle in Twin Falls, Idaho. We also made a detour to see the horses at Vantage, Washington.
The monument is not complete, it was to have a man standing with a basket releasing the horses. It is titled: “Grandfather releases the horses”. The horses are in full gallop they remind me of life escaping from the womb and never slowing down. That is life for us as we serve God, there is no slowing down.
Nineteen years ago Gremar and I came back from Zillah just having passed my ordination exam, we stopped at Vantage and we sat on the deck of a restaurant overlooking the bridge and in sight of the horses. It was a completion of four years of hard work for us both and the completion of a 40 yr. aspiration to become ordained. We thanked God that all was right with the world for us. Praise God! It was great to relive that moment on this trip. Since jack is from Arlington Washington and his family all live there Jack and Beck decided to have their wedding there.
