| Well, we went to see Cars yesterday. It was awesome. It might fall just a tad short of Toy Story, but it was fantastic. I can't wait until Wendy gets home, so we can go see it again. It was so much fun to try and identify all the subtle references to places along Route 66. The story was sweet, and the animation was awesome. I feel badly for those who left without watching the credits; there was some funny stuff at the end. You have got to see it!
One of the Route 66 landmarks that appeared in the film is the "Here It Is" sign, only the rabbit has been replaced with a truck. We have had our picture made with the sign a few different times, but the one below are from 2 weeks ago.
  
Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is a beauty, admire it. Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a duty, complete it. Life is a game, play it. Life is a promise, fulfill it. Life is sorrow, overcome it. Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it. Life is a tragedy, confront it. Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is luck, make it. Life is life, fight for it!

| It is somewhat depressing that it is only June 5 and we have already had our big vacation for the year. Nevertheless, it was a great trip and I am going to have to post my journal online, especially since my sweet daughter is still off in England (poor dear), and when she calls I can't really tell her a whole lot about what we did since international rates through Cingular are $1/minute. So even though I will give a day by day account in the future for Wendy to read, let me just say now that Big Sur, California may have been the highlight of the trip. However, Yosemite in late May is unbelievable. The falls were tremendous, and it even snowed some while we were there!
As for Wendy, she has only got to visit London, Bath, Stratford-upon-Avon and a few places like that. She doesn't know what she missed out on and will be sorely envious, especially when she finds outs we got to visit Harley and Annabelle again.
For now, I am trying to get back into a routine. I am guessing the 2 hour time difference between California and Arkansas is why I am still wide awake at 12:33! I had hoped getting up early this morning for church would help, but it has not.
We are getting really excited about Cars opening up this week! We already have our tickets for Friday.

| Heavenly Father, help us remember that that the jerk who cut us off in traffic last night is a single mother who worked nine hours that day and is rushing home to cook dinner, help with homework, do the laundry and spend a few precious moments with her children.
Help us to remember that the pierced, tattooed,
disinterested young man who can't make change
correctly is a worried 19-year-old college student, balancing his apprehension over final exams with his fear of not getting his student loans for next semester.
Remind us, Lord, that the scary looking bum, begging for money in the same spot every day (who really ought to get a job!) is a slave to addictions that we can only imagine in our worst nightmares.
Help us to remember that the old couple walking
annoyingly slow through the store aisles and blocking our shopping progress are savoring this moment, knowing that, based on the biopsy report she got back last week, this will be the last year that they go shopping together.
Remind us each day that, of all the gifts you give us, the greatest gift is love. It is not
enough to share that love with those we hold dear.
Open our hearts not to just those who are close to us, but to all humanity. Let us be slow to judge and quick to forgive, show patience, empathy and love | | |
