It does seem strange that just yesterday, I mentioned we were thinking about destinations for a spring trip. And two strangely-connected things occurred today. First, I had a long message from Lynne Thomas. That is not unheard of but special. In it, she asked if were were planning any trips. Moreover, later in the afternoon, ex-colleague Pam Cashbaugh-Hewitt posted some old photos on Facebook. They were pictures from our teaching days in Kuwait the early 1980's. Strangely, the one below was taken in Jordan while we were stranded in a mountain village during a snowstorm. Due to the poor weather, we had to skip plans to visit Petra on that vacation. Petra is one of the very places we have been thinking of trying to visit during the upcoming trip.
I will take the occurrence of these two events as a good omen.
