I made it to Texas

OH MY WORD!  I am getting too old to drive that long!  900 miles in one day is too much!  I am scheduled to return the day after Christmas so I can be here when my grandson arrives.  Searching for flights after this post!  LOL!

This card reminds me of how Blessed I am that I arrived safely!  And for many more reasons too!
