TO-DO LIST ABANDONED ...
Today, like most days, started out with a long list of things to do.
My night had been filled with pouring rain and thunder, a few visits from my little one (she's almost 16) who was frightened by the storm and a mother cat who was in the mood to 'chat' several times in the wee hours. Morning didn't come with excitement, as you can imagine. The day started out cloudy and gray ... and my spirit was feeling a little gray as well.
I worked for a few hours this morning but just felt an urge to get away for a while and do something creative. The kids and I decided to jump in the car with our cameras and head to this wonderful little outdoor museum in Stephenville. We have gotten some pretty cool photos there before and it was just what we were in the mood to explore. So ... after stopping off at Sonic to get us something to drink for the road, we drove the 40 minutes there, talking along the way about all the happenings of the week and what was coming up. We drilled KK on road signs to make sure she was ready for her upcoming driving test and enjoyed slurping on our icy colas (diet vanilla coke with extra ice for me). We excitedly arrived at the museum only to find that there was some kind of photo shoot going on there already. The cameras were MUCH bigger than ours and the lights were the size of a small swimming pool. I don't know what was going on, but we were not privvy to enter. Bummer!
After a quick drive around the square in the big town of Stephenville, we decided to make our way back to our town. Desperate to find something to photograph, we made a quick stop off at the Windmill Farm in Tolar ... we trapsed through some great old stuff, took a few pics as we watched the clouds roll in .. then headed on home.
I'm not sure we captured anything artistic on our little excursion but I was thankful to have a nice couple of hours away from the to-do list. Thank the Lord for blessings such as these.
Here are a few of the treasures my camera saw today ...
