I started this blog at the urging of friends and family in April 2010 when my husband and I were given an opportunity to relocate in Maryland for one year. We have now returned home to Arizona and continue to walk by faith as we watch God orchestrate the adventures in our lives. I invite you to share in our adventures as we watch God at work!

We live by faith, not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5:7

thankful thursday - highway humor

We have logged A LOT of miles driving around the country in general and the state of Arizona in particular. One of our favorite things to do while driving is to look for unusual things.

It might be a billboard or sign. Sometimes it's a building. We've seen some pretty unusual looking people dressed in all kinds of costumes. Occasionally we see interesting "vehicle decor," especially around holidays.

Having driven this stretch of road a gazillion times, I thought we had seen ALL the unusual sights on I-10 between Phoenix and southern California.

I was mistaken.

We got off the freeway to grab some lunch and when we were getting back on, pulled up behind this truck in the lane to the on-ramp. I couldn't believe what I thought I saw from my view directly behind the truck so I convinced Richard to go around him. Sure enough... he was hauling a TOY ATV!!!

We laughed so hard! All the tension and frustration from driving all morning, inconsiderate drivers and road construction melted away. 

I am thankful for things that make a tedious task more fun, for the gift of laughter and for a big rig driver who was man enough to haul a child's toy on his big rig, no matter how ridiculous it looked.

  1. That would definitely bring a smile to your face. I like the big straps to hold it down. That was one safe kids ATV.
