Can't get that song "Time Flowing Like a River," by Alan Parsons Project out of my head, but it is beautiful - so that's fine! And I love rivers and river metaphors. Buen viaje to you both and look forward to your updates and photos. Enjoy!!

Time, flowing like a river

Time, beckoning me

Who knows when

We shall meet again, if ever

But time keeps flowing

Like a river to the sea

Goodbye my love

Maybe for forever

Goodbye my love

The tide waits for me

Who knows when

We shall meet again, if ever

But time keeps flowing

Like a river (on and on)

To the sea, to the sea

'Til it's gone forever

Gone forever

Gone forevermore

Goodbye my friend

(Goodbye my love)

Maybe for forever

Goodbye my friend

(Who knows when

We shall meet again)

The stars wait for me

Who knows where

We shall meet again, if ever

But time keeps flowing

Like a river (on and on)

To the sea, to the sea

'Til it's gone forever

Gone forever

Gone forever

Gone forever now

Forevermore, forevermore

Thanks so much for suggesting this song Jeanine. I wasn’t aware of it. https://youtu.be/yiPtOVP-kec?si=RQL-vMG_URYzvRvW

North of where I was raised in Arkansas is a town called Marked Tree, Arkansas. It is on the St. Francis river, and it got its name from when people used the river for transportation and trade. There was a big tree on the river that someone marked so you could portage across the land and hook back up with the river. Someone built a trading post, and it got bigger after that.

That's very metaphysical. And lovely young family picture.

Safe travels. While this is about rivers, consider all bodies of water. Can you find a town anywhere in the world that is NOT adjacent to water? I couldn’t.

Thanks! Good point John! Yes water connects us and divides us.
