We made another quick trip to Illinois this past weekend. We headed there on Thursday when Jane got off work, and came back Saturday morning.
We went on Thursday because this was a trip mostly to see friends. My mom wasn't even there when we got there - though she did get back home Friday afternoon.
Thursday night we went out to K & Ts for supper. They are bible translators by occupation, having completed work in southeast Asia, not only on translating the bible into their language, but they first had to create a written language for them. It took about 30 years in all. They are dear friends, who are actually largely responsible for us being where we are. When we lived in Buda they asked if they could have a Bible Study in our home. I'd never done such a thing, but we did, and when they moved away, we kept it going with other people.
One of those people ended up being the other dear friends we visited on Friday. J & J now reside in Ireland (where she is originally from), and they have worked for the same organization as K & T, only in support/administrative roles. We met them at a coffee shop on Friday, and had a very nice visit with all the above.
The funny thing is, even though we rarely see these friends (especially J & J), when we do see them, we're able to pick right up where we left off. We just fall right back into friendship like we never skipped a beat. Funny how that happens with some people.
Otherwise... it was the same old thing. Jane went over to visit with her brother that's in a wheelchair and cook him some real food. I dinked around at my mom's house. We left early Saturday morning so we could make it back to the Fort for the No Kings protest Saturday afternoon.
Traffic was fairly decent both ways, taking about 4 1/2 hours each.
