Waking up yesterday, the rain was coming down hard. The Run to the Pines Car Show Parade was planned for 4pm; how is it all going to work out? I said the prayer ‘God show me what to do next and give me the power to carry it out’, and proceeded to do the next right thing. I got a call from my friend Denise and we confirmed our plans to meet up at McDonalds Pinetop. It was still raining when she and her 4 grandkids ran in, and we had a terrific reunion with happy meals! Denise was the retail manager at Sunrise Ski Area for 20 years when I sold sunglasses, and our friendship goes back to 1986. I drove to the cabin to pick up the Vette, and drove it over to the LDS Church where the show vehicles were all gathered. It had stopped raining and the blue sky was starting to peek out from the clouds! Denise & the kids were there, and Katie ran over to give me a hug and got in the Vette.
We got in line and put the top down, all of the cars started up and we drove out on the Deuce of Clubs to be in the parade. There were over 1000 people lining the streets! Katie waved and threw out candy to each group gathered along the route. At the WMCC Summer Homes entrance, our friend Tucker jumped out and screamed at us, and we all waved and laughed. What a parade!
Rolling into Hon-Dah Casino, we met up with Denise’s husband George, and Gail and all of the other kids ran over. After the BBQ Dinner there, Gail and I drove back to the cabin, lit a fire and hung out on the couch. It had been a full day of surprises & love.
So how exactly is it all going to work out? I don’t know, but thanks for giving me a conscious contact and tools to go with the flow!
