We have three trips planned in October. They aren’t trips to Europe or adventures on a cruise, but we are escaping Dallas—which we haven’t done very often since the pandemic began.

During October, we will be in Eureka Springs in a cabin with our children and their spouses—in Georgetown, near Austin, visiting with friends—and in Tulsa celebrating a special relative’s birthday.

No matter if we are not flying away to some exotic spot, we are leaving our corner of the world.

As Mark Twain once said, “Broad, wholesome, charitable views of people and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all of one’s life.”
