Having had a pretty emotional 48 hours prior to Sunday, Jay and I decided (rather last minute), to drive up the highway a few miles to the property of a friend who said we could have it for a night. So on Mother's Day, I left my kids! That just doesn't seem right! But really, it was a much needed little escape to decompress after such a difficult weekend. We were literally in the middle of nowhere - and I mean NOWHERE. I still don't know where we were. But, we were surrounded by nothing but land and a lake for about 24 hours. We did nothing but sit on the dock and stare at the water - really, just stared at the water. The only sounds we heard were the sounds of nature. It was so good to just be silent, with my mouth and in my thoughts. I just kind of existed and it was so nice, and very needed.

| I was so relaxed taking pictures of anything I could think of, including this reflection of clouds on the water......, until I saw the next picture through my camera lense! So much for relaxation - I was pretty "jumpy" the rest of the evening! |

| After the snake made his way into the woods, I tried to relax again - wasn't easy though knowing that we could possibly have a houseguest that evening! |
 |
| And how amazing is this? A "heart" in the sky on Mother's Day! Isn't God so kind and so creative? |
