day 14
said good-bye to peggy and brian…6:30 am. we will keep in touch.
breakfast was at mcdonalds,and lunch at dairy queen…yiks.
it is soooo good to be on a trail again. the traffic on the roads has been very busy…and somewhat dangerous. some friendly bird watchers directed me to the des plaines trail, and asked for a safeplace card.
some of the trail is under water, but it didn’t stop anyone riding bikes, running, riding horses, and even other hikers. there are many friendly smiling faces on the trail. it has been such a nice day, many families riding bikes together. the breeze has been blowing all the bug away…i could even take a brake on a bench.
i think the cutest thing i saw was this tandom bike with a dad in the front and his little girl in the back. they were talking and laughing…fun stuff.
late in the afternoon i am enjoying the beauty around me…i see a starbucks and a days inn…and realize it is time to stop.
i am dreaming about seeing the faces of the kids at safeplace in chicago…just a few more days.
my lesson for the day:
when God blows the bugs away, it is a gift of time to enjoy the blessings from Him.
enjoy the blessings!
