Middle of the Night Blessing

 So summer travel can be a bit dicey.

 Storms roll through 

and then you get stuck 

or your plane doesn't arrive.

This week the Schumacher family 

were stranded in Boston

 because the FFA Center in Leesburg, VA

 had to evacuate because of  noxious fumes. 

So no flights into DC, BWI or National.

The hotels near the Boston airport 

shot up to $500 a night.

Then a helpful attendant called them up 

and said, "I can get you to BWI

 for the night does that help?"

A quick call to a 

very accommodating sister Sara,

 got them a ride from BWI to Springfield.

 So at 1:30 am they rolled in from a long day.

At 7 am Griffin announced to Gigi

 that it was time for "brekstet."

By 8 am we will playing croquet in the back yard 

and at the water station by 9 am.

 So we played fast, talked fast and by 1 pm

 they were on their way back to BWI and home.

But you just have to love it 

when unexpected 

little urchins (and their caregivers) 

arrive in the 

middle of the night 

and bless your day.

Thanks Lord!
