Getting closer and closer!!!! Today started out in the low 40s then warmed up to another gorgeous ride day. I finished listening to Bonhoeffer and started a new Audible book. Got a little sunburned as my legs & shoulders aren’t used to seeing the light of day☀️, and figured out the route for my solo day next Wed to the coast. I am surprised by the joy I feel at riding this familiar route from last year (backwards), recognizing places, feeling the memories, and seeing how rapidly we are heading for home! 🏡💕 Part of me feels like stopping and going home with everyone else on Tuesday, but I just can’t do it. I do miss my family so much and am very excited that I get to see my dad as we stay there Mon night in Redmond. Then 126 mi on Tues to Jefferson and seeing friends I was a missionary with on Mercy Ships’ Anastasis, whom I have not seen in 10 or 15 years. Big days. Precious days! With love ❤️, Terri
