On our
travels for Thanksgiving, we were able to see a lot of family. Family makes me smile. At one of our stops we learned a lot – about Norway,
where Ken’s sister and her husband will be living for six months, about rocks
from Mars, which Ken’s brother-in-law works with as part of his job, about
names and remembering them, about South Africa where our niece spent a semester
abroad, etc.
It’s amazing
when you visit someone who you don’t see often, they have so many things to
teach you about what they are doing and what’s important to them.
While we were
there we got to hold a rock from Mars in our hands. It was sliced and polished and placed between
two pieces of glass so it could be easily examined with a microscope.
Things like
that take a while to sink in….I was holding a rock from another planet in my
hand.
It’s exciting
to talk to family and friends and learn new things – it opened my perspective
and gave me something to smile about!
