Travel day!

We got gas.

We drove.

We stopped to pee.

We drove.

We discovered we were in Tennessee.

We drove.

We saw the Kentucky sign.

We drove.

Little van arrived because they have no sense of waiting for the slower folk.

We drove.

Big van arrived.

Marjorie welcomed us most kindly to our home for the week.

The most amazing EL + staff advisor trio went shopping.

And then. DINNER! After a whirlwind of frenzied kitchen activity, Team A presented us with their final masterpiece: a stovetop ziti paired with lettuce salad and rolls. And oh, what an experience indeed!

The ziti, simmered in a tangy tomato reduction, yielded delicately to each bite in al-dente perfection. Generous amounts of mozzarella thickened the sauce to a luxurious cream and clung lovingly to each noodle.

It was warm, it was rich, it was hearty.

Most of all, it was the gentle fire we needed to warm our weary traveler’s hearts, a reminder to be grateful for all we have, and a miracle hidden in the little things of life.
